I am trying to find some census records for Sarah ann Hurst born about 1836. She married William Taylor in 1850 at Saint Michaels church Ashton Under Lyne.
The first sign of her is in the 1871 census Lanarkshire Scotland. I know her parent were John Hurst a coalminer and Sarah Savage but why can't I find her before then?
Can anyone help me?

Apart from the birthplaces, given as Elderslie, Renfrewshire (all dittoed)?
they MAY be at Abbey Landward, Renfrewshire in 1861.

I don't THINK that any particular connection has been established with Ashton apart from that's where the marriage took place. Have we any other evidence to support the supposition that she or her family were born or resided there long-term?
What else can you offer from the 1850 marriage cert?
who witnessed, what residences are given?

Hello Sadiej
I cannot help you with any census information but if you want a look up for the marriage of Sarah and William I would be able to do that .
The IGI has 23 September 1850 at St Michaels , Ashton under Lyne with HURST being spelt as HIRST , please let me know if I can assist .

Ihave the marriage certificate and her death certificare and I know her parents were married in Ashton at the same church in 1830. On the marriage certificate of Sarah Ann and William it says full age and according to her death certificate and the lanarkshire census the age is right. She had three of her children in England but I don't know where. I would like to find out more about the rest of the family but have come to a dead end in the England census records. I was quite excited and surprised at having English roots as I am Scots and Irish every other line.

Hi
There is a remarkable similarity between this 1861 family to which Pauline refers and the 1871 Taylor family in Airdrie at 43 Pollock Street. The parents names are the same and the first four children (William, Agnes, John and James) are almost identical in their names and ages. The father, William, is also a Collier.
It might be even more remarkable if it was not them ::)

Hi
Yes this is the same family I have them on record from 1861 in Scotland and know what happened to them from there but before that its more difficult. Hurst and Taylor are really common names. I can't trace any siblings or anyone else. Williams death cert only has his fathers name. I would like to go further back. This is the branch of my tree thats driving me mad.

Hi Sadie
Sorry about that but when you said "The first sign of her is in the 1871 census Lanarkshire Scotland", I (and possibly a few other people) assumed that you did not have the 1861 census details ;D
Have you seen the following entries on http://www.familysearch.org/ ?
IGI Batch C005587
Christenings at St Michael, Ashton under Lyne.
Parents John & Sarah Hurst
21/09/1834 Sarah Anne Hurst
28/06/1835 Thomas Hurst
29/04/1838 George Hurst
As you say, the names are quite common for that part of the world and these might be a completely different family but they could be worth looking into.
I have not been able to find any of them on the 1851 census but the original documents for certain parts of Ashton under Lyne (and neighbouring areas) were damaged and are not available to be searched on the regular sites.
However, they (and the Taylors) may be included in the unfilmed sections of the census which certain people have got access to. You could try a specific request for a look up from the 1851 Unfilmed Census for each family if nothing else turns up.
Unfortunately, both families might also have been lost in the parts of the census which were too severely damaged to be retrieved.

Thanks DS
I did mean 1871 scotland census sorry! I do make mistakes quite often which could be why I can't find people. I will follow up all leads given and fingers crossed will find them.
