Hi im keeping this separate from the Myatt thread I posted yesterday so as not to over complicate things

My line is a Frances Myatt born lane end Longton SOT 1832 she married a Mr harding and had a son William Thomas 1855.

I am trying to determine Frances parents and the subsequent marriage.

One possible one is James Myatt & Dorothy.
Thank you!

For some reason she is now Sarah . Maybe because they have a young daughter Frances

That's the baptism I saw bit could find no marriage for a James or Dorothy

Emma

Emma Report 8 Nov 2017 07:47

So you think Frances changed her name to Sarah Ann ?

Emma

Emma Report 8 Nov 2017 08:04

Should I maybe just be looking for James Myatt marriages circa 1810 ish around that area

Shirley~I,m getting the hang of it

Shirley~I,m getting the hang of it Report 8 Nov 2017 08:29

No Frances died in 1862. And George Harding remarried to a Sarah ann

I would get the marriage cert of 1854. Looks like it's a phonetic spelling of her surname

There are several possibilities on Ancestry trees

Your best bet is to get that marriage cert
