Mary Pine of Sidmouth

Posted by Anne Speight on 9/7/2023, 10:23 pm

I think my 4x great grandfather was John PINE baptised at Sidmouth on 27-3-1782, illegitimate son of Mary Pine.
I think John was a parish apprentice from 1789. When he reached 21yrs, I think he joined the Royal Navy.
My query regards his mother Mary Pine. What might have happened to her? I couldn't see anything in Sidmouth parish registers but maybe you can. John Pine did many years active service in the Navy during which time he went by an alias -James Woods. Why that name? Does it crop up anywhere in Sidmouth or there abouts. I wondered if it was his father. Any help would be much appreciated. Thanks.

Thanks Sally, That looks interesting but which to choose as the mother of my John bap 1782?

At Sidmouth I have found Mary Pine bap 1746, daughter of John Pine and Joan nee Warren.
But that bap of a Mary, if she never married, could be either of the deaths that you have found.

The web gets so tricky to navigate!

Just found another option. Buried 04.04.1828. Sidmouth, aged 79, so born 1749. Would have been 33 when she had John.
