Thomas Chmbers was single in 1939, DoB 29/12/1915, which you have been given before

He died in 1977 - buy a copy of the death certificate for info about whether he had a wife

I’m fairly sure you’ve been told all this before…..the cert is on FMP!!

Sarah’s father was WILLIAM. Her address when she married was CHATHAM Street

Use ADDRESS SEARCH option on FMP to try to find her in 1881

She said she was 22 when she married, so your suggestion that she was born c1863 is not accurate Try searching again using correct birth year info

On which census have you treid to find the woman?

Do you know when and where she was born and the name of - at least - her father?

Her father’s name….if she knew it - will be on the 1882 marriage certificate….get a copy for accurate info

Hi,

Thanks for that

I have gone back and looked the information you have highlighted and yes it the right person. However the Brunts who are listed o the Cences are Samuel Colclough family.

I am looking for Sarah Simpson Samuel Wife. I cant find her on the Cencers.

However, as you have 'gone wrong' before, it would be wise to get PROOF in order not to do so again.

You don't give any indication in your post as to where the 'mess' is, so we have no idea what path you followed before................ :-S :-S :-S


You could easily have found the following............

HOWEVER...........................

The above have NO connection whatsoever to you. Thomas Chambers 1879 was NOT related to your grandmother.

You can trace ONLY her MOTHER's line
