I am not a member of the above website, but I typed in Mary a Blanchard born Hagworthingham 1812 in google and it looked like there was a few people that have her in their tree it also says photos or documents does this mean that a member can see them? If so would someone please take a look for me, many thanks

Hello Sidami, sometimes Ancestry search results imply there are photographs/images when in fact there are none - as is the case in this instance.

There would be links to the census on which she's recorded which is where the "documents" may well have come from.

The trees in question have her born as Mary Blanchard with parents Edward Blanchard and Frances Spikin. She allegedly married William Blanchard in 1829. So did a Blanchard REALLY marry a Blanchard (certainly not impossible) or is it another example of half-baked Ancestry trees with everyone copying everyone else?

ADDED: Yes - it was a Blanchard to Blanchard
