Notes for Mary TIMBERS
Mary Timbers was born on 23rd August 1845 in Binham and was the daughter of Samuel Peacock Timbers (1824) and Margaret Eke. In 1851 she was at school and was living with her grandparents, William and Esther Eke, in Binham. There is an entry for a Mary Timbers in the 1861 census which shows her living in Blackfriars Road, Yarmouth and aged 15. She is listed as the "daughter-in-law" of an Ann Campbell. It is probable that her widowed and deceased father Samuel had re-married to Ann Campbell's daughter Caroline - the widow of shipwright William Cockell. There are also a Caroline Timbers and an Eliza Timbers mentioned at the same address - both born in Yarmouth. Mary married Edmund Pomfrey (1843) at Langham Parish Church on 15th November 1865, and was living in Langham at the time of her marriage. She was living in Langham until the family moved to 91 London Road, Kirkley, near Lowestoft, around 1871. She was living at 4 North Raglan Street, Lowestoft, on 27th February 1877. In 1881 she was living at 2 County Villas in Lowestoft. In 1891 she was living at 4 Sydney Cottages, County Villas. In 1901 she was living at Victoria Terrace, Fakenham. In 1903 and 1911 she was living in the High Street, Little Walsingham, and was present at the death of her mother-in-law, Mary Ann Rawston, in Lowestoft. She died in Little Walsingham from broncho pneumonia and mitral stenosis on 8th July 1917.
