Details
John Mason and Amy? Mansfield were married by Banns on 4 Jun 1805 in Thaxted, Essex.
Amy is listed as a widow (widow of the same - what does this mean?) on their wedding certicifcate, therefore she had married previously. Here name may not be Amy as previously thought, as it looks a botlike emily on the marriage certificate. Both John and Amy were illiterate, as they left their mark on the certificate.
A message on rootsweb suggests this possibility for Amys first marriage from Boyds index. Aaron MANSFIELD & Amy ELDRED, 1794 = Debden, Essex.
John and Amy, and their son John and his family are listed on the 1841 English census:
