Re: Mary Cormode
In Response To: Mary Cormode ()

Daniel Cormode was baptized 1 or 2 May 1825 at Andreas. Only the Mother's name was recorded indicating an Illegitamacy.

Divorce in 1825 was a very rare event requiring a lot of money. I don't believe there are any recorded in the Island around this time.
It is much more likely to be a "family story" to cover an embarrassing event.
