Can you spot Sarah Peers after the 1851 census?

And her son Edward after the 1881 census?

Thanks

Not for Sarah so far, though I have tried. It makes sense that she could've married after 1851 but where???

Thanks again Ozibird. Your help and opinions are great.

I have looked for marriage of Sarah and a few possibilities stand out but I shall do some more research before I ask for help there.

Can I ask for further help? I am interested to see what became of Sarah's siblings and initially I would like to see what happened to both William Peers (born 1812 in Nantwich) and John Peers (born 1821).

I did look into Abraham and he seems to have died without marrying or having legitimate children.

Do they appear in the census?

Thanks,

Peter

No luck with John Peers c1821.

Thanks Ozibird! I am working away now hence my delayed reply but I shall be back with further questions soon.

Your help is much appreciated!

Thank you,

Peter

Marriage of Edward giving his father's name as Sarah!

PEERS, Edward Age: 20 Marriage

Oh wow! Thank you for this ... very interesting!

Hi there, can someone please look up Ann Peers (b 1809 in Nantwich, Cheshire) and Mary Peers (born 1821 in Nantwich, Cheshire) in the census please?

I would like to see what happened to them in their lives.

Thanks,

Peter

Peter, there is a good chance they would've been married by then but I'll have a look.

Ozi

Update:

No marriage for Ann, but there is a possibility of this death.
record title: England Deaths and Burials, 1538-1991
name: Ann Peers
gender: Female
burial date: 14 May 1816
burial place: Nantwich, Cheshire, England

Thank you Ozi, I will look into that! I am away from home for another week but the info is here for me to check over then. How about Mary Peers? Maybe she was still single in 1841 (although I know it is difficult with that census).

Thank you,

Peter

PS How did you find the above burial?

AND, wasn't there a familyseach project that actually showed the parish register images for Cheshire? Is that still going?

Found the burial in familysearch. Don't know anything about the Cheshire images.


There wasn't a Mary that fitted the bill, plenty who were wives.

Can't access the censuses at the moment. My server is "undergoing maintenance".

Ozi

Thanks again Ozi!

Peter

This is a Mary who's a possibility. Remember ages were rounded down in 1841 for people over 15 years.

Just seen this Ozi ... thanks. It is a task to try and unravel 'who' is 'who'.

Good luck.
