Find Ancestors

a while ago i got stuck on trying to find sarah jane pleasant. I am now retrying. I have now found whom i think is her mother SARAH PLEASANT and father GEORGE PLEASANT and also their children (all born in Crowle) in the 1871 census. I have Sarah Janes birth certificate, which states that her mother was called sarah pleasant formerly THORP and that sarah jane was born in Crowle, so i think ive got the right family. MY PROBLEM NOW IS ive searched for the siblings births and i cant find any of them. The census shows that charles was born 1855, annie elizabeth 1859, Emily 1864. Sarah was born 1831 and George 1821. Can anyone please help

So if Sarah (mother) was formerly Thorp can we assume that this was her second marriage? Perhaps she was born Ellis?

i dont quite understand all of this, does this mean that their birth name is pheasant and not pleasant

Marie, what does that last posting ("not yet") mean please?

No Marie, it means that the name has probably been mis-transcribed from the handwritten census records. Volunteers read the sheets and input what they think it says to the electronic versions that we have access to.
It's very easy to look at something hand written and read it differently. One of the joys of family research I'm afraid!

When was Sarah Jane born, as not showing with this family?
Thanks

not yet meant, someone asked me if i searched for a marriage and i said not yet

Different family, wrong mother:
1881 England Census
Sarah Jane Plesance Age: 8 Estimated birth year: abt 1873 Relation: Daughter Mother's Name: Elizabeth Gender: Female Where born: Crowle, Lincoln, England Civil parish: Crowle County/Island: Yorkshire Country: England

Elizabeth Plesance 59 Thetford, Norfolk

Sarah Jane Plesance 8

However as Pheasant crops up more times than Pleasant, I'd say the former was the original name.

Ozi

Sarah Jane was born in Crowle

Sarah Jayne was born in 1873

There are so many cases of Pheasant for this family, and FreeBMD has fewer mistranscriptions because the names are in alphabetical order, that I wonder whether Pheasant is not the real name. Marie can you say where the name Pleasant is taken from?

The marriage for the couple in 1871

Elizabeth,

on my grandmas birth certificate it says alice mary pleasant, on her mums birth certificate it says sarah jane and that her mother was sarah pleasant formerly thorp

Marie I can't find any previous threads about this person, I wanted to see what research had been done before that you refer to, have you had other threads and deleted them?
