Thanks Andy,
there are two other Sarahs in 1776 and I am thinking the only way I can pin anyone or them down is via the marriage record to Ben in 1801 hopefully showing the parents names. Any suggestions on a better course of action ? Still new to all this and hoping to hopefulyy find a " route one " method from a seasoned geneologist :-)

Apologies,
I am unsure of either occupation, and the first born seem to be named after the parents, Benjamins dad could be a Benjamin from a leap of faith on another igi search I have done ?????

None of the Benjamin Pagett records are in the immediate area

Do any of their children's names give you a clue? Are they named after grandparents?

Were they still alive in 1841 or 1851?
If so where and what was their occupation.
It might be possible to find them in census and get clues there.

Good evening all,
I have an ancestor by the name of Benjamin Pagett who married Sarah Lane at St Michaels, Lichfield on February 16th 1801, Is there any way I can find out where they hailed from or who there parents were ?? there are a few possibilities that I have come across on the IGI ( two Bens and Sarahs in the same area born in the same time ) but can see no definitive link to either. Forgive me for next comment as I do not wish it to sound as rude as it may come across, but my main line I am chasing is the Paget line so any help anyone could give would be most appreciated ( not wishing to offend anyone called Lane who may be able to help :-D )
Thanks in advance
Gavin
