took on Joseph Bottomly as an apprentice, for seven pounds.

Mary was born on 23 June 1739, the daughter of Joseph Dixon and Mary Brookes, at Stamford, Lincolnshire.
When Edward died in early 1768, Mary was five months pregnant with their sixth child, Henriette Maria. Fortunately her brother Richard set her up in one of his houses on Queens Row, Pimlico, just around the corner from his own house. Mary had Henriette Maria in June and in October married John Baker, a local 22-year-old baker. They were married by an Archbishop of Canterbury's license (of Oct. 14, 1768) on |
Oct. 15, 1768, at St George Hanover Square, Thomas Vincent, curate, officiating. Mary's brother John was one of the witnesses.
Six years later, John died an early death, leaving Mary a widow again, in 1774. In 1780 Mary married a third time, to Richard Reily, a glazier, painter and freemason who had a house and shop at 51 Upper Thames Street, Queenhithe. Mary was buried in 1792, at the back of the Trinity Churchwardens' Pew, in St Michael's, Queenhithe. |

He was educated at Merchant Taylors School, and at 26 became the parish clerk of St Michael's, Queenhithe, and continued in that capacity until his death in 1821.
