2012-03-31 I was pleased to hear from Marc Kerry about his relative Mary Jane Compston who is a member of the Lancashire family tree 1
Message:
Mary married the Rev George Kerry at Serampore, India in 1895.
Do you have more information about their time in India? Mary was working with a Indian women's Baptist group since she gave a report about this in New York at a Baptist World Congress.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
I sent Marc the following information about her family:
Compston Mary Jane b Jun Q 1853 Preston 8e 450
This made her 43 at marriage – quite elderly. She was the daughter of John Milton COMPSTON and Catherine Dean recorded in my archive as Lancs 1 and I have a number of entries (30) in their tree including:
