I am assigning a "circa1847" death to Mary
on the basis that her children were no longer with their mother by 1851,
even the youngest who was ten years old at the time.
Perhaps controversial, but I cannot imagine a mother abandoning her children
to remarry or migrate out of the district.
She does not appear anywhere after 1841.
Therefore, I am claiming she died anonymously between the two census years (1841-51),
probably homeless and penniless as her youngest son lived in a poorhouse by 1851.
Her husband died in a mining town in Devon in 1847.
That he did not take his children to Devon with him convinces me that
he did not know about the fate of his wife and children while he was away,
which means he probably died before she did.
This is all speculative but there are no good alternatives.
His death may have been the end of her financial support;
probably meagre even at the best of times.
