Mercy (1) Woodhurst was born in 1837 in Buckland, a few miles north-west of Dover, to parents William (3) Woodhurst and his first wife Mary [Birth Index: Dover 5 79, 1837 (Sept)]. Hers was the first Woodhurst birth to be recorded under the UK's civil registration system, which began in mid-1837. A descendant reports that she was born on July 27th 1837.
She emigrated in the 1850s - as did some of her other siblings - to America, where she married James Goodwin Page in Ashland, Ohio on February 19th 1857 [IGI: Batch M515981]. James may have been a brother of Ann Page, the wife of Mercy (1)'s brother William (4).
