Mary Hebbart (My brick wall person.)

[Doug Laidlaw]

Mary Hebbart married Charles James Boykett at St Olave's Southwark on 8 Apr
1804. The English Census records have only one Mary Hebbart who could be
made to fit with a sledge-hammer, and that seems good enough for other
researchers. She lived on the Isle of Sheppey, at the mouth of the Thames.
She had a daughter called Mary; mine had a daughter called Mary. But by
1841 the mother in my case was in Guernsey where she eventually died, and
Mary the daughter came to Adelaide unmarried in 1853. The mother in London
was living with her married daughter Mary at the Isle of Sheppey at least
until 1851. I noted once that they were both still there after Mary in
Adelaide had died (1876.)

There are mailing lists for "brick wall" cases, where people with a lot of
experience seem to be available. Is anything known about them, and where to
find one?
