Hello All

Any help would be much appreciated. I am trying to locate a Sarah Wilbourne (possibly also known as Bangs) born Sep QTR 1850 in Ware. I think she may be the illegit dau of my ancestor Emily Bangs who married James Petts in 1854. Also can someone please find James PETTS in the 1851/1861 census for me. He was born in 1834 in Hunsdon Ware.

Many thanks

Danielle (Sydney)

THank you so much Roy and Glitter Baby that is certainly all the family I am looking for. No I do not have their marriage cert though was given the details by someone else. I have their daughter Emily's marriage cert which shows her father as James. I am trying to determine which of the 2 sisters does Sarah Wilbourn Bangs belongs to, Sarah (Chapman) or Emily (Petts). And what became of her, I looked on FreeBMD for a possible marriage or death and have not found anything that may help shed some light on her whereabouts in the 1881. Thanks again you have both been a great help.
