Samuel Dixon and Mary Maria Mablethorpe

A quick search online shows a marriage in 1897 between one Samuel DIXON and one Mary Maria MABLETHORPE. At first glance this would certainly appear to give me my great grandmother's maiden name, though until I have documentary evidence to support this I will store it in the 'to be checked' tray. Updates: 2015-03-18 Mablethorpe and Maplethorpe seem to be interchangeable; both being in use in various documents. I eventually settled on Maplethorpe....

Mablethorpe or Maplethorpe...

MABLETHORPE, MAPLETHORPE, MAPLETHORP, MAPPLETHORPE or MAPELTHORP... Marie or Maria; this will take a little resolving. So far all the results I have collected suggest Mary Maria DIXON's maiden name is MABLETHORPE. It is only when I start to delve further and switch the surname to Maplethorpe that I start to obtain any meaningful results....

Back - Alice Dixon, Charles Edward Dixon Front - Ivy Dixon This weekend I decided to take a break from my research of Ziller ALLEN 1858-1949 and my paternal grandfather's line; instead I concentrated on Ivy JACKLIN (née Ivy DIXON) 1901-1983, my paternal grandmother's line. Ivy DIXON 1901-1983 was born on the 5th of October 1901 at Upton (Upton-cum-Kexby) near Gainsborough, Lincolnshire, the third child of Samuel DIXON 1869-1906 and Mary Maria DIXON (née Mary Maria MAPLETHORPE) 1878-1964. Though she has the surname DIXON, I always remember her being referred to as Grannie CARTER, a reference to her stepfather Joseph...

Joseph Carter 1872-1959 Mary Maria Carter (née Mary Maria Maplethorpe) 1878-1964 Outside their cottage at Marton, Lincolnshire Photograph courtesy the family of GH For quite some time I have been aware of incorrect data added to my GEDCOM for the family of Joseph CARTER 1872-1959 (the second husband of my great grandmother Mary Maria CARTER (née MAPLETHORPE) 1878-1964). For the last couple of years I have not found the time to manage these pages and so this issue was never fixed. Yesterday evening I decided to correct the issue with Joseph CARTER. At the back of my mind I seemed...

Harold Carter 1913-1977 Photograph courtesy the family of GH Harold CARTER 1913-1977 was the stepbrother of my paternal grandmother Ivy JACKLIN (née Ivy DIXON 1901-1983). Ivy's father Samuel DIXON 1869-1906 passed away on the 20th November 1906, succumbing to tuberculosis at a relatively early age. Mary Maria MAPLETHORPE 1878-1964, Samuel's widow, later married Joseph CARTER 1872-1959 and the marriage produced two children: Harold CARTER 1913-1977 Kathleen LOCK (née Kathleen CARTER 1917-Deceased) Often during the summer holidays I would stay at my Aunt Kath's house, situated on a little close off the Roman road that is Littleborough Lane, Marton near Gainsborough,...
