The knowledge that Isaac was a hairdresser had survived in family lore. His g-g-grandaughter
Margaret Parker (1925) said that her father Harry Parker (1895) had a pair of
Isaac's scissors and Margaret remembers cutting things with them as a child and
was always told that they were "proper" hairdressing scissors. Her
father Harry also used to tell an old family joke about Isaac that either went
:-
"Isaac was a Tory who would never make a wig for a Whig" or
"Isaac was a Whig who would only make a wig for a Whig"
Margaret cannot remember which way around the joke was.
(NB Whigs and Tories were opposing parties in UK politics)
He was married to Mary Ann BAUGHAN on 10 Oct 1825 in the Parish of Hampton Bishop,
Herefordshire1. Note that on the marriage entry both were shown as "of the township of Tupsley
in this Parish". Tupsley was a small village on the outskirts of Hereford, but within the
Parish boundaries of Hampton Bishop, a nearby village.
Isaac was married for a second time to Mary Ann BARTER (widow nee Philips) on the
24 June 1878,
St. Nicholas, Hereford2. When I was first conducting research on Isaac without knowledge of this
second marriage, I initially interpreted his second wife's birth details in the 1881 census as
those of his first wife, both having the same first names.
51. Mary Ann BAUGHAN was born about 1805/1809. She died on 6 Jan
18634.
No further information is known about Mary or the Baughan ancestry.
