I am trying to sort out this Presbury (alternative spelling PresTbury) family. The furthest back I have got is Sarah. Unfortunately this is her married name. I have her on 1851 census living 62 B ridge Street, Derby aged 36 and it states a WIDOW. By 1861 she has remarried a Peter Belfield and is living with her husband Peter, his two children Harriet and Peter 16 and 12 respectively, plus two of her own children Bessy/Betsy and George plus a child William which she has obviously had by Peter Belfield. In order to possibly progress further on the Presbury/Prestbury line, I tried to find a marriage on freebmd of a Sarah? to a somebody Presbury to try and find her husband. No success. Right I thought, I'll try male deaths from 1851 to 1861 to see if I could see one in Derby - no success. Then I suddenly realised that she was supposedly a widow by 1851 and yet son George is only 6 in 1861 - a birth year presumably of 1855 !! Was she not a widow in 1851 or is George the child of an unknown but registered as a Presbury. I really need to find out who Sarah's husband was to be able to proceed. I would be really grateful for any help anyone can give. Thank you.
