Hi Need help with locating the death of ....
SARAH FEAR possibly round 1831/33 in Salford Manchester area.
Her husband was CHARLES FEAR...son Zaccheus b. c1829 and daughter possibly Merinda b. c1831 in Salford area.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Happy New Year

On Familysearch.org there's a marriage for a Sarah Fletcher to a Charles Fear on 04/06/1827 at Manchester Cathedral. Is this the right pair?
I couldn't see a death for Sarah, though.
Kind regards
Patricia

Yes Patricia that is the right pair.

Charles remarried Mary Fletcher(believed to be Sarah's sister) sometime before 1834 when another daughter was born (mother Mary).
There was another daughter Merinda born 1831 but I think was poss. Sarah's but not sure.
Their son Zaccheus Fletcher was born 1829 and on his death cert it gives mother as Sarah.

Hiya
Sorry, I couldn't get back before now.

Looking on Ancestry, I see that Zaccheus married in 1854, but apart from the 1841 census showing Charles and 2nd wife+family, I can't find anything relating to the death of Sarah.

Maybe someone on the 'night shift' might be able to help?
Not sure if anyone who has the BVRI might find anything.
