Title: Sarah Ellen Halgrath
Post by: SDCragg on Saturday 06 August 11 19:18 BST (UK)
Hi, trying to find the parents of Sarah Hellen Halgrath. Born 1864 +/- 1 in St. Summercoles, Lincolnshire. Married William Cragg on 28 May 1896. Children were William Harold (or just Harold) Cragg 30 Jan 1900 in Holbeach and Robert Carr "Uncle Bob" Cragg on 07 Feb 1897. William died Jun 1984 in Fenland, Cambridgeshire.

Cannot find her by her maiden name on a Census but it is probably there somewhere... any help?

Have you checked the freebmd entry for the marriage?  Surname is shown as Holgarth not Halgrath and christian names Sarah Ellen - not Sarah Hellen

Woops, meant to say Ellen... the Census data for Sarah Ellen Cragg would be 1-2 years out if she were born in 1862... any info on parents?

The FreeBMD record doesn't show parents name does it? i know it gives a volume and page number but how can i get the volume and page of whatever it is referring to?

You can't - you have to buy a copy of the birth cert to get her parents names
