Can anyone please help with research on my ancestors the Sergeants of Liverpool ? William Sergeant was born in Shrewsbury in1816. he married Agnes Winstanley b .20 Feb1838. in Liverpool. Their children were Edmund,William & my grt grandfather Robert b.abt 1849. Agnes died abt 1859. William married Mary Watson b.1818 in Nov1859. she had 2 daughters from her 1st marriage, Ann and Jennet. She had another daughter to William ,Sarah Jane b. 1861.
My gtr grandfather Robert married Sarah Ellen Sept 12 1878. Their chidren were, Ada, my grandmother b1891,Georgina,Nellie, Mary Agnes,Ellen,Esther, Esther(2),Emma, Elizabeth,Robert and Jessie, ( a large family! )
Williams father was Thomas Sergeant, a labourer, but we do not know anything about him. Although William is listed on census as being born Shrewsbury Shropshire, an extensive search of baptism records did not find any record of him. Does anyone have an idea how I can trace back futher. ?

Do You have them on the 1841 Liverpool Census?
On that Williams Surname is Spelt: 'SERGANT' (might be an Enumerators Miss-Spelling, but worth noting the Variant in Your Searches)! ::) ;)
