Title: Edwards look up please
Post by: claude on Tuesday 11 August 09 07:17 BST (UK)

Sarah Ann Edwards b1855 married George Cox b1855.  Am trying to find out the names of both their parents.

Pretty sure they married in Dec qtr 1877 in Oundle.
In the 1881 census they are in Elton.
Any help greatly appreciated.

regards cheryl

Hi Cheryl,

1881 gives George's birth place as Warmington, 1901 says ?Luton?

How about this boy?

1861
RG9/961 104 6
Lutton, Huntingdonshire
John Cox, head, 30, Ag lab, b. Northamptonshire Warmington
Mary H, wife, 30, b. Northamptonshire Lutton
George, son, 6 (or 5?), b. do.
Caroline, dau, 4, b. do.
Edward, son, 1, b. do.
George Oliver, bro in law, 28, Ag lab, b. do.

Definitely seems to be the one. 1891 shows that they also had a son John born ca. 1879 Lutton, and the boy is with his grandparents in 1881:

In 1871, Sarah Ann, age 15, is in service unfortunately.

There isn't a Sarah Ann Edwards born or living Warmington on the 1861 census. However there's only one Edwards family and they have a 4 year old daughter Mary Ann. I can't see this Mary Ann on later censuses, nor can I see a birth registration for her. Maybe, if someone has access to christenings, they will be able to confirm or disprove that she's the girl we are looking for:

1861
RG9/963 136 9
Warmington, Northamptonshire
John Edwards, head, 27, Ag lab, b. Lincs Morton
Mary Ann, wife, 27, b. Warmington
Mary Ann, dau, 4, scholar, b. do.
Elizabeth, dau, 2, b. do.
William, son, 1, b. do.
