Title: Samuel Sutton 1835 b Southchurch, Essex
Post by: Keziah2 on Tuesday 10 June 25 08:36 BST (UK)
Good morning all - I’ve searched high & low I can’t find any trace of Samuel in 1861.  Got him in 1851 in Gt Wakering living with his parents.  Got him in 1871 living with 2 children, his sister & her daughter also in Gt Wakering. 

He married a Sarah Ketcher in 1862 (FreeBMD) but she appears to have died before 1871. 

Any help from you fabulous super sleuths gratefully received

& so quick ;D - I’ve got to the stage where sometimes you can’t see the wood for the trees or should that be Suttons.

Thank you

Thank you Amondg - I’ve looked again at the 1861CR on FindMyPast  & I still can’t find him even with your info. Could you please tell me who head of household was on that CR looks like there might be a transcription error.

Many thanks

got him - his birth has been entered as 1827 age 34 but when you look at the original transcript it’s 24.

Boy that was a close one if John married Elizabeth PITCHER 20 Apr 1835 :)

Thanks Trish - yes thank you.  Freereg is very useful but not unexpectedly there are gaps.

Yeap a close call but not as close as some & at least they got there before rather than after.   It got really intriguing in the 20C😂
