thanks Georgina. I've got the birth ref off west midlands BMD so will go to register office in the morning and order Nancy's birth cert Linda

Linda I think you are going to have to be patient & send for one of the childrens birth certificates to find out Sarah's surname, unless you are local & can visit the registry office. Georgina.

Several children born after 1837 but want to know now instead of waiting for cert! lol Linda

Were there any children born after 1837? If you can get a birth cert for one of them it should give you the mother's maiden name. Heather
