Find Ancestors

thanks margaret your a great help,ive managed to add loads of info on my tree tonight so ta very much.

No, no, I believe William & Martha are the parents of George who is the father of Henry J. Margaret Update, our messages crossed. Unfortunately the 1841 census doesn't give relationships but it looks like William is George's father.

what i meant was is william georges dad

I think this is George on the 1841 census in Sunningwell: William East, 30, ag. lab. Martha, 35 George, 7

margaret i see what you mean about georges marriage typical eh two sarahs got married same day

On the 1851 census George East, age 18, born Abingdon is a servant in the home of William Smith in Iffley, Oxfordshire. Margaret

You click on the page number to get the possibilities then search the census for a match. Ozi.

That's why I was looking on the 51 census. I thought if I could find a Sarah Prior or Viner who was born in Sunningwell the same year that George's wife Sarah was, it would be her. That sounds a bit convoluted! Anyway, I didn't find one! Margaret

i do understand what they were saying it was reg that gave me info on henry to start with.ive just looked on bmd index but how do you find out who they actually marry

Sarah, I hope you understand what Rose and Reg were saying. We had to start with the 1881 census to get birth year and birthplace. If you had already looked at it you should have told us that the birthplace was Sunningwell, Berkshire and birth year was 1856 not abt. 1850, as you said. I can't find Sarah on the 1851 census, so I'm not sure which one he married. She's old enough that she could have been previously married. Margaret

thanks margaret i will have a look and see if i can see which one it is

From Free BMD, George East married Sarah Prior or Viner, 1855 Abingdon, Berkshire.

Sarah I asked you to look at 1881 to find his BIRTHPLACE...........it is virtually impossible to find someone if one doesn't know where they were born. Reg

1861 census Sunningwell Village, Berkshire George East, head, 29, ag. lab. Sarah, wife, 40 Henry J., son, 4 Martha S., dau, 1 All born Sunningwell now.

Sarah, If you gave us Henry's age and place of birth from the 1881 census at the beginning we could have found them immediately. Rose

thanks margaret thats what i was looking for i did look on 1881 census but it didnt say anything about his parents thats why i asked for help
