Mason - Ideford
I have a newspaper cutting about a woman called Mason (no first name) who was found dead by the Postman in Ideford. She was 70 years old, it was found in my Grandad's box and we do not know who she is or why he kept it. He pasted it onto card, so he obviously wanted to keep it for a while. The only Mason I can find is a Mary Mason born Morice Town (the same place as my Grandad) in the 1901 Census she was born c1838 and married to George Mason from Oxfordshire a Hawker. If anyone can shed any light on this I would be grateful. I have traced my Family Tree back to Chudleigh (Nr Ideford) so she could be a relative.
