Find Ancestors

I have found in the Genes Reunited single line census:-

Staples Christiana 1844 Lyddington Uppingham, Great Easton

Please can anybody see her with any family.

Many thanks
Frances

No - she is a servant for the Barnett family.

Here's 1851 though:

Francis Staples 34
Mary J Staples 29
Sarah E Staples 9
Christiana Staples 7
Slater Staples 31

Sorry, should have said, Slater Staples is brother of Francis.

Anne M Phillips is "visitor"

Thanks both of you for that information. I was hoping to find her with her sister Sarah, as she is not available in the 1861 census on Genes Reunited.

Odd that there is a marriage mentioned for Slater Staples as he is described on all the census returns as "unmarried" not "widower".

Can't find Sarah Staples in 1861 either (on Ancestry). Could she have married - and (just a thought) is there any chance that Anne Phillips could be a grandchild rather than just a visitor? Sorry I haven't got time to carry on searching now but will come back to this later and see if I can find anything.

Aveyronnaise. Yes it is odd. IGI record is a mystery with no proof. Sarah Elizabeth Staples is the ancestor I am trying to match up but is her father Francis or Slater Staples. Can you possibly find her in the 1861 census for me. I think her birth is listed in free bmd as female in 1841.

Aveyronnaise. I have just read your message after posting mine. Would appreciate any help.

Just a note to be careful about the info about the Staples family on LDS - all the entries I have seen have been SUBMITTED not EXTRACTED and therefore need to be treated with caution!

Sarah Elizabeth Staples is shown as being the daughter of Slater Staples and Elizabeth Brown (census returns state him to be unmarried and also state Sarah E to be the daughter of Francis and Mary); she is shown as marrying in Wing, Rutland in 1870 and having been born in about 1842 in Liddington. But there is also a birth for Sarah Elizabeth Staples in Wing in 1849.

EDIT!! Just saw your last posting - so we are both thinking the same way and can probably discount everything from LDS in this case.

Are you definite that she is Sarah ELIZABETH Staples? And if so, how? Have you traced her back from yourself (and therefore know of a marriage)? I agree that the 1851 census appears to call her Sarah E but the only BMD match I am getting for 1840+or-2 for Rutland is Sarah ANN.

Looks to me as if there's no option but to order a birth certificate!!

The definite evidence for Sarah's age is :-

1901 census
Samuel Dams
56 Northants Haringworth Rutland Tixover Cowman Domestic
Sarah Dams
59 Rutland Liddington Rutland Tixover
She married Samuel Dams in 1869 and they are my grandmother's parents.
The only entry that I can find to cover Sarah Elizabeth is a Female Slater in Sep Qtr 1841 Uppingham.

Darn! I came across their marriage earlier and discounted it ... give me 5 minutes and I'll bring it back up.

A propos of nothing, have you got this record from the 1911?

If nothing else, it confirms you have the right year of marriage for them!!

Aveyronnaise, thanks for that info, I did not know they were living at Tixover Grange, obviously in service.

I can't find the blooming marriage now!
