Title: Marriages for Sarah Munt/Barnes - Tottenham
Post by: Benzol on Monday 19 April 21 14:42 BST (UK)

I'm looking for details of Sarah Munt and/or Sarah Barnes marriages. Sarah was born about 1789 in the Tottenham area. She seems to have lived there all her life as records show her death at the age of 73 in Edmonton. (The 1861 census shows her as age 75 living in the Tottenham parish of Holy Trinity.)

The 1841 and 1851 censuses show Sarah as the wife of John Munt. The couple have two youngsters living with them, John Munt jnr. born about 1826 and William Barnes born about 1817. John was the son of John Munt and his first wife Elizabeth. William was the son of Sarah (presumably from a previous marriage, if the was one.). John Munt's first wife Elizabeth died soon after the birth of her son John in 1826. Could someone kindly look up a marriage between John and Sarah somewhere  in the Edmonton area between 1826 and 1841.

Sarah's first marriage is more of a challenge, the  family name Barnes being very common. From the few details I have it seems the marriage took place between c. 1805 when Sarah was about 16 and 1817ish when William was born. The baptism of William Barnes or the burial of a Barnes husband  between 1816 and 1840 might help. Also a baptism for a Sarah c.1789 might give a lead to Sarah's maiden name. I have no great expectations of finding this marriage but any thoughts or views would help.

Thanks Benzol

Thanks good people. Better than I expected. Any chance of a Sarah Miller baptism c.1789.

Maybe, the 1861 census records Sarah being 75 years. The death record 73 years (1862) could have been a best guess by someone.

Thanks for looking

Thanks Tazzie
All grist to the mill. The bapts look spot on. Particularly the occupation of the father.
