Sarah was my 2x great grandmother from Holbeach Lincolnshire

She married John Blazer (I think)

They had 3 children John? Willie (1884) and Maud (1892 - 1943) my great grandmother. The latter 2 were born in London.

Does anyone know of Sarah's parents or other relatives please?

thanks

Jeremy

You need to send off for this cert which will give you the fathers' names.

In 1891 - John is an omnibus coachman. Family living at 3 Bonny Street. William was born in Greenwich.
John snr was born Norfolk. Sarah and John jnr born Lincs.

I think it must be them.

In 1881 they're living in Norfolk by the looks of it - under name of Blazar on Ancestry.

Hi David

I found three possibles for Sarah on 1871 - mind you I don't know where these places in Lincs are in relation to each other!

I think to be sure Jeremy ought to buy the marriage cert first which will at least confirm Sarah's father.

Totally agree about the cert, just showing the one who says Gedney as her place of birth.

Is Gedney the closest to Holbeach? (Told you I didn't know Lincoln!)

Dear Jill and David

Thank you very much for your help!

Its amazing progress.

It has also revealed a child I did not know about - Nellie Blazer aged 17 in 1901??

Does it say where in Norfolk they were living in 1881

Loads of thanks

Jeremy
