She is described as a minor, father John Mackenzie a tallow chandler. Both given as of St.Marys parish. Cannot find this Mary Ann Mackenzie in 1861C. Witnesses seem to be A. Osborne & Jane Collis- George & Emma Osborne were witnesses on the 1862 mc of his sister Frances!, Emma Savill having married George Osborne in 1858

Thomas & Mary Ann Savill have 6 children in Dunmow, so obviously go back to Dunmow after their necessary marriage.

1878 His wife Mary Ann Savill dies Mar 1878 aged 31 implying aged ~16 on marriage.

1880. He is the executor of his mother's [ Susannah Savill] Will,1880. He should have stood to gain considerably from this: see William Savill 1843 Will . But she seems to have almost written a new Will that voids that of her husband! I am unsure as to whether there is still any property for him to inherit
