This photograph of my great grandparents Mary Maria CARTER (née Mary Maria MAPLETHORPE 1878-1964) and Joseph CARTER 1877- was probably taken circa 1960 outside the Church of St. Margaret of Antioch which stands on the junction of Trent Port Road with High Street, Marton, Lincolnshire.
Mary Maria married twice; her first marriage to Samuel DIXON 1869-1906 took place at the Church of St. Margaret of Antioch on the 15th of September, 1897. Samuel DIXON 1869-1906 died from Tuberculosis on the 20th of November 1906 at Upton (Upton-cum-Kexby), Lincolnshire, at the relatively young age of 37 years.
This marriage produced 3 children:
Alice DIXON 1899-1959
and my grandmother Ivy DIXON 1901-1983 born 5th October 1901.
After the death of Samuel DIXON 1869-1906, Mary married Joseph CARTER 1877- during June 1913.
This marriage produced 2 children:
Mary Maria is commonly known as Granny Carter.
MAPLETHORPE or MABLETHORPE? This branch of the family seems to use either of these surnames depending on the generation.
