PLAYER FAMILY IN SOMERSET
I am desperately trying to trace a Mary Player who stitched a sampler I have which gives her name and says "M P to A C 1796".I don't know if this was her marriage date to AC as I cannot identify the right Mary Player.I do know that the connection is through Martha Player born 1831 in Weston in Gordano, Somerset who married Thomas Gardner Brown (born May 1831 in Portishead, Somerset) on 18 September 1854 in Portishead.I have traced 3 children of Thomas and Martha - Mary Ellen, Martha and Thomas.
Martha's parents were Joseph Player and Mary (surname unknown) who had 9 children - Ann, Elizabeth, William, Samuel, Joseph, Maria, Sarah, John and Martha.
I would be so pleased if anyone has any information which would further my research on the Player family, and Mary in particular.
