Please can anyone help me locate information on a Sarah Aish born 1836 Tidenham Gloucestershire,
married a John Pratt about 1867 then married a John Williams 1884 both in Bristol.
John Williams was a Publican of Blue Bowl Pithay, White Bear and Beaufort Arms 1870 - 1884.

Hi 141,
To avoid time spent looking up what you already may have.....
Do you have her on any Census - pre- or post marriages?
If you are looking for her parents details, do you have a father's name off either marriage record?
If you could be a little more specific about what information you're after finding, then we can better try to help :)
Cheers

Hi AMBLY,
I can not find her on early cencus's the first one is 1871 and she is listed as Mary Williams married to my Great Grandfather John Williams, she is on all the rest as Sarah and born in Tidenham, at the moment I am waiting the arrival of the marriage certificate and as you said it should have her fathers name on it.
Thanks for your reply.

Thats not fitting with your first post when you said she married Pratt in 1867 and Williams in 1884.
Are you sure the Mary in 1871 is not a previous wife of John Williams?
Not that I am seeing Sarah as Mrs Prattt in 1871 . . . .

There is a marriage with John Pratt and Sarah Aish on the same page in 1864
Jan/Feb/Mar1864
Clifton ref 6a 215

Hi lizdb
John Pratt died Jul-Aug-Sep 1874 but Mary/Sarah was already living with my Great Grandfather
John Williams and already had 3/4 children 2 of which I have their birthday certificates and mother's listed as Mary Williams late Pratt formerly Aish, My Great Aunt Florence (b) 1870 & Great Uncle John (b)1875 are definitely John Williams's children.
John Williams married a Sarah Pratt Jan-Feb-Mar 1884 and he died the same quarter 1884.

Sorry but you have the wrong John Williams in 1871 cenus they were living in the Blue Bowl at Duck Lane and only had Mary Jane and Florence,

Sorry, yes I just realised it must be wrong!
Try RG 10 2522 139 30
B!ue Bowl, Duck Lane, Christchurch Bristol
John 32 licensed victualler bn Devon Knostone?
Mary 36 bn Gloucetershire Tiddenham
Mary Jane 3 bn Bristol Christchurch
Florence 6 mths bn Bristol Christchurch
-
In 1861 there is a Sarah Ash, age 24 bn Tiddenham, as a cook in a H/H in Bristol.
Likely to be her
RG 9 1722 68 16

That sounds very much like her, just a different spelling of her surname.
Thank you for that perhaps I can follow it through now, please keep me posted if you come across anything else.

HI Sue,
Thank you for your assistance with the web site given, I have tried all varieties of the surname and possibly with success, as I think yours is the correct one, once again thank you.
