Find Ancestors

Hi.

I am concurrently enquiring about these two but am also seeking anybody's help via this site.

Sarah Barrow, baptised 30 May 1813, Bolton, married Joseph Walker on 1 January 1837.

I thought I'd found them on the 1851 census (only) but now have doubts.

If anybody can help re possible deaths, re-marriages etc, I'd be very appreciative.

Phil

Thank you

What more do you know of them please? Did they have any children?



Sarah's baptism for reference.

Yes, this is the only trace I can find although there is a marriage in 1840 for Joseph Walker and Sarah Reeves in 1840....

Could this be Sarah's burial? Means the 1851 isn't her.

EDIT No the age is wrong. My counting back years is obviously way out tonight :-D

Could be either Sarah? Is it possible to find a baptism for Sarah Reeves?

This is the marriage for Sarah Reeve. Do you have anything more to go on? How do you work back to them?

Do we have witnesses for the 1837 marriage? We seem to be building a picture for this Joseph Walker - we need a death pre 1840

Thank you so much for all this alviegal

I'm so sorry, I have to go now. Hopefully someone else can pick up on this.

The witnesses on the 1837 cert were Thomas Harrison (x) & James something, possibly Liptrot? As James witnessed several other marriages, he was probably a church official or professional witness. He'd also witnessed the 1840 marriage.

I haven't looked at possible records yet, but just wondering how you know that the 'Sarah Barrow, baptised 30 May 1813 married Joseph Walker' ?

Thank you very much.

Harrison is not a name I recognise.

Well that's a moot point.

I've gone with a Sarah Barrow from Bolton but maybe she died before getting married???

I need a burial if that's the case....
