Mystery Monday: Love Day's Love Child - Mary CHARLES bap. Feb 14, 1773 Over, Cambridgeshire

.
From the parish record transcipts of Over, Cambridgeshire:
1773 Feb 14 Mary spurious daughter of Mary CHARLES

Spurious = illegitimate, out of wedlock.

Mystery Monday - Our Mary Charles, daughter of Mary, will always have a mysterious father. There is unfortunately no way we will be able to determine who he was - he was not named in the parish records. Her mother Mary Charles is also a mystery - all we know is her name.

This Mary was my 5th great-grandmother.

Mary CHARLES married John COXALL Sept 26, 1796, in Over, Cambridgeshire. John Coxall was from Willingham, Cambridgeshire. They had nine children, including Jemima COXALL, who married John OSLAR.  The family spent many years in Waterbeach.
