Title: Richard MASON and Sarah HEATH, Ipswich.
Post by: Nottschick on Sunday 23 December 12 17:34 GMT (UK)

The IGI has given the above couple as the parents of my 3 x gt Grandmother Ann MASON who was baptised at Ipswich St Mary Stoke 7/9/1806. 
As it specifically says Sarah HEATH I am assuming that this couple were not married at the time.  Does anyone have any helpful information on this couple please as I cannot find any further details online.

Much appreciated.  NC.

Sorry, what was I trying to say was that Richard and Sarah were married at the time of Ann's birth, it's just that Sarah's maid name is also given as Heath. It's quiet usual around this time for the mother's maiden name also to be given.

Thanks Pam, that's very helpful. It's a good reason for checking what's given on the IGI.  I haven't been able to find a marriage for Richard and Sarah, could you help with that too please?   :D

Sorry, I am unable to find a marriage for them in Ipswich. Can only assume they were married elsewhere.
