SARAH HADDOW, born 1823 in Biggleswade, or Shefford, BEDFORD Where was she? I suspect she was working as a servant because she wasn't at home with mum and dad [Lovell and Sarah Haddow, Bedford]. She got married in London in1854 to GEORGE MAJOR [1817, Newton Abbot, Devon].He built railway coaches. Where was he in 1841 and 1851?? I am trying to work out where, and roughly when, they might have met. Any help would be appreciated.
