Find Ancestors

Well, I suppose the only answer is to get the birth cert, but as it won't really tell you much more, I'd save my money - at least we found her 1881!

Yes, thank you for your help Jan

Finding her in 1881 is a good nights work. Did you notice her father Richard is 32 in 1871 and 0nly 38 in 1881! ha! perhaps they couldn't count? lol.

All I need do now, is find her parents marriage. I'll have to find time to go back to Shrewsbury and see if I can find a baptism in Stoke-St Milborough parish to clarify the birth.

Thanks again
Dee

I did notice the age variation for John, but have come across this many times so in itself doesn't signify much I think. It's hard to put yourself in their shoes, isn't it - almost certainly illiterate, never bothering about their ages normally I imagine!

How about freebmd? Fits with name of her other children:

Familysearch has this:

RICHARD LLOYD

Spouse: SARAH JONES
Marriage:
20 JUN 1864 Stoke Saint Milborough, Shropshire, England

Just to complicate things! Sarah born c1836 Cleobury North so worth considering. The infant is a girl so could be the daughter in 1871.

Thanks for all the info, I found the marriage to Richard, but could only find a couple of marriages of a Sarah Brown and a Sarah Fletcher, both to a Richard Jones in Ludlow. But I am sure that is her in 1861, thankyou. I'll look for a marriage to Edward now.

I think this might be it:

Sarah Thomas and Edward Jones Dec 1/4 1857 6a 1059

Well done you! Fun this isn't it?
