There is a big mystery surrounding Mary Ann, her sister Hannah and a man named Joseph Tollett, or Tulletts:
On 7 December 1854, 'Hannah Murcer' married one 'Joseph Tulletts'. Joseph is described as a boilermaker, his father is named as Thomas. Hannah's father is named as John Murcer, a miner
On 2 January 1855 – just 26 days later! – 'Mary Ann Murcer' married 'Joseph Tollett'. Again, Joseph is described as a boilermaker, his father is named as Thomas and Hannah's father is named as John Murcer, a miner. This marriage is witnessed by 'Ann Parkes' - Mary Ann's mother
In May 1856, 'Mary Ann Murcer' married Benjamin Haglington (my 3 x Great Grandfather) – her father, John, is a miner
I can't find any death record for Hannah Murcer/Tulletts that would allow for Mary Ann to marry Joseph (less than a month later!), nor can I find a death for Joseph Tollett/Tulletts that would allow Mary Ann to marry Benjamin (a little over a year later!)
