Does anyone know who Sarah Ann Daniels parents were. She was born in Bristol in 1860 and married George Wolsoncroft when she was about 17. They were living in the Lambeth area of London. George was a waterman when they met. Her father was a stoker.

You could look for her on 1861 census but to be absolutely certain you had the right parents you need to buy her birth certificate. Do you have her marriage certificate with her fathers name on?

If her dad was a Stoker, then you'll have his name too...so you can use that as a referece for the 1861

It probably the one i've posted as to where Pauline got it from cos of Sarah's age

So it seems there are 2 Williams with similar surnames

Sam

Sam Report 9 Jan 2008 14:02

Crikey I'm confused now, there appears to be a George and Sarah WOLSONCROFT and a George and Sarah WILSONCROFT!!

And what makes it harder is Wandsworth & Lambeth are so close to each other

Sam

Sam Report 9 Jan 2008 14:06

And also the 1881 says she was born in London, the 1891 says Swindon, Wilts and the 1901 says Bristol!!

You definitely need her fathers name from the marriage cert.
