Re: Maiden Name or Married Name?

I remember reading somewhere that family names of the peerage etc would
pass down the female line if there was no son with issue?

Hi Norrette,
Thanks for the reply- alas, no landed families here. Ms. Ann
Robertson was a daughter of Peter Robertson, bookbinder of Fetter Lane in
London. The father of her first child, George (shown on his baptismal
record at age 10) was John Wiggin, believed to be a descendent of Gabriel
Wiggin(s) of Stepney.
The marriage record I've found is of Ann Robertson to Robert Ross,
bookseller & stationer (which is correct and is "mine." Robert Ross later
signed a letter to George's son, "your affectionate Grandfather" and Ann
was married to Robert at the time she took her son George to be baptised.)
At this point, it's looking more and more as if poor George may have
been born out of wedlock. Ann's marriage to Robert in a parish other than
her own (St. Clement Danes) and the delayed baptism of her son in still
another parish seem to support this.

Regards,

Cap'n John
