Name Michael MCMAHON Relationship 
with Teresa Ann GOATHAM Born Stokenham, Devon, England 
Residence From 1835 to 1851 Torcross, Stokenham, Devon, England - With his Pepperell grandmother at the time of both the 141 and 1851 censuses; also with them in 1841 was his uncle William, a shoe maker.
In 1841 his father was just a few houses away with his sister Mary.
Baptised 5 Apr 1835 St. Michael and All Angels’ Church, Stokenham, Devon, England - Michael Son of Morty & Elizabeth Watts McMahon, abode Torcross, father a Victualler
Gender Male Occupation 1851 Painter &c. Apprentice - At the time of the 1851 census Mary was with Stephen Cove and his family, described as niece. Stephen was a master painter employing one apprentice; I guess the apprentice was Michael, apprenticed to his Uncle Stephen.
As well as his uncle by marriage, Stephen Cove, Michael's blood relation, his uncle George Pepperell had also been a painter, but he had died in 1840 when Michael was only 5 so can't have been involved in training Michael.
Stephen and George were a similar age; maybe they were apprentices together and this was how George's sister Maria met her future husband.
Died Yes, date unknown Siblings2 sisters Patriarch & Matriarch

Father Morty MCMAHON, b. Abt 1799, bur. 16 Sep 1851, St. Michael and All Angels’ Church, Stokenham, Devon, England (Age ~ 52 years) Mother Elizabeth Watts PEPPERELL, bap. 19 Nov 1811, St. Michael and All Angels’ Church, Stokenham, Devon, England , bur. 14 Oct 1838, St. Michael and All Angels’ Church, Stokenham, Devon, England (Age ~ 26 years) Banns of marriage 29 Jul 1832 to 12 Aug 1832 St. Michael and All Angels’ Church, Stokenham, Devon, England - The dates shown are 1st reading 29 July, 2nd on 5 July and 3rd on 12th July which is clearly nonsense. Were the entries June / July or July / August? Checking the days of the week for 1832 we find that 29 July, 5 and 12 August were Sundays.
At the bottom after the details of the third reading was written 'denied'; I don't know what this meant - were the entries written down by someone other than the person reading the banns (Richard Newman) and he denied having read the third?
The marriage register had an entry shows that the marriage did happen. (As did the following entries onthe page, which have a cross through them).
Married 14 Aug 1832 St. Michael and All Angels’ Church, Stokenham, Devon, England - Bachelor and Spinster, both otp, married by Banns, witnesses: John Weekes, Elizabeth Jeffery (all 4 signed)
