Mary Mills c.1752-1811

Mary Mills appears to have been born sometime in 1752. There is a baptism transcription listed on Ancestry.co.uk for a Mary Mills baptised on 16th Jul 1752 at St. Peter's Church, Hereford to Phillip Mills and his wife Elizabeth. I need to get a copy of the actual record before I can be sure that this is the same Mary Mills.

On 7th Jul 1771, Mary married Benjamin Farmer at St. John's Parish Church in Hereford, Herefordshire, England.

Mary died on 24th Sep 1811 at her daugher Elizabeth's house in Birmingham, Warwickshire, England. An obituary was published in The Hereford Journal on 2nd October 1811. There is a bit of a discrepancy with her age here, but its likely it is a misprint, or perhaps she was baptised later in her childhood than usual.

Mary was buried on 28th Sep 1811 at St. Paul's Chapel, Birmingham, Warwickshire, England.
