Hi all,
I hope someone will be able to kindly help me.
Can anyone find any information regarding a Sarah Jane Fright born circa 1820-21 in Minster, Thanet, Kent?
Unfortunately I do not know for certain any parents names or siblings, so it really is a shot in the dark as to whether any information can be found.. but there is of course, no harm in trying. I have found a possible baptism for her for 1st October 1820 in Kent with parents names of Richard & Mary Fright... so hopefully finding her on the 1841 Census will either confirm or deny this... hopefully.
We know she married in Minster 1844 to Henry Castle Fuller and subsequent children, but I would like to find information relating to her before she got married, regarding her parents and siblings; as we have other people with the name Fright in my family tree from nearby and it would be interesting if I could link them up, if at all possible, even though it seems to be a common name for the area too.
Many thanks in advance,
Natterjack

Okay and thank you again,
this is starting to look interesting... as in 1881 nearby at Hoo in Minster we have Sarah's brother in law Lewis Fuller living and working the farm there. Though I suspect, they maybe different properties to the one that Sarah was working as a servant at... so it would be interesting what the property was next door. It would be also interesting to see details about the family of Fright on the 1851 Census. If they are still there and also more specific details about them and also their address.
It is a shame Sarah couldn't be found with her parents however... oh well such is life of those days.
Thanks once again,
Best wishes,
Natterjack

Can anyone find any information regarding a Sarah Jane Fright born circa 1820-21 in Minster, Thanet, Kent?
Are you sure she was Sarah Jane and not just Sarah? I only ask because a quick search of some records (census/marriage/baptisms of children) just shows Sarah :-\

Hi there and thank you to everyone,
I got the middle name of Jane from a distant family members website, so I can't guarantee on the reliability of the information, especially when all documents including ones that are definitely true (marriage record) say otherwise. So I have no idea where they received that piece of information from. I have now adjusted my details accordingly, to reflect this fact.
I am very interested with the information you have all given me, especially the following parents and children. It's just a shame I have not yet been able to link the parents Richard & Hannah Fright to my direct link as of yet.
I have a John Fright born 1685 in Elmstone, Kent who married Pleasant Johncock in 1707, they had at least 3 sons, John, Abraham and Stephen Fright. I have no clue as to details about them other when they were born, other than Stephen Fright born 1720 in Kent who died in Monkton, Kent. Stephen married Anne Johnson in 1739 in Minster and had at least one son named John Fright born circa 1742 in Birchington and he married Mary Ladd in 1763, however no more details are known about him as to whether he had any children or not. So really if I wanted to see if I could link this family further back, I would need to see if a baptism could be found for Richard Fright, who married Hannah and then go even further back if possible or at all needed.
Oh well, this may take me a while if possible at all.. but for now, thank you again to you all for the wonderful work you have done for me.
Many thanks and regards,
Natterjack

Hi again,
I have just noticed that the baptism of John Fright in 1795 to Richard and Hannah Fright might be the John Fright mentioned living next door to Sarah on the 1841 Census. Which if correct, would make that John her uncle.
Regards,

Hi there Natterjack72
I read with interest that you found John Fright born 1685 in Elmstone. He and Pleasant Johncock are as far back as I have got in the Fright family. I couldn't find their birth dates anywhere. I have their marriage date. The death dates are: John 1747 and Pleasant 1741. St Nicholas at Wade, St Nicholas. They are both on the same page.
Can you tell me where John's birthdate is recorded please.
Kind regards
David Fright ( b 1933 )
