Mary Collings had already left home at Spring Gardens by 1841, so where was she? Perhaps we have the wrong marriage!
21 Jul 1844 Mary "Collings" of Spring Gardens, daughter of William a Carter married John Berry at Mawdsley Street Chapel.
In 1847 Another Mary "Collings" daughter of John Collings married James Horrocks at St Peter's.
In 1852, John Berry died and Mary married Samuel Berry in 1855. Were they brothers ???
In 1862, Mary had a son Robert. He died in 1864 aged 2.
