Can you please help me find the information regarding the parents and siblings of Sarah Staunton.
-
Did Sarah marry and if so, do you know the name of her husband?
-
William Matthews was in the RIC and stationed in Tipperary. Think that this would have been how they met. They may have been married 1865, in Dublin.
-
possible marriage ?
Marriage record for William Mathews and Sarah Staunton (https://www.irishgenealogy.ie/view/?record_id=cima-3077930) 30th September 1865 at the Parish Schoolhouse parish of St. Andrew, Church of Ireland, groom is shown as a constable English police.bride's father is James a college servant
added - both the civil and church records (https://www.irishgenealogy.ie/view/?record_id=25f2196b3b-5963) note the residence for William as 'Much Woolton near Liverpool'
-
Your information is correct. Is there anyway of finding out about James Staunton and his family.
-
on church records Staunton is spelt Stannton?
-
Never easy with spellings. I know that the groom's surname is Matthews, and not Mathews. The same for the spelling of his farther.
-
OP - You don't explain, what makes you think Sarah was from Cashel, Co. Tipperary?
When married she was living in Dublin, and apparently so was her father.
-
Cannot find the original details, apart from William Matthews was stationed in Tipperary from 1857 to 1864. I have just gone through the English census records. 1881 ,Yorkshire,Sarah & William Matthews + children are living in Leeds, West Yorkshire, Sarah's birthplace is shown as Kildare, Ireland. Date of birth 1842.
-
on the marriage certificate is says William Matthews and Sarah married in Dublin but Sarah was living at 5 Trinity Place? and William was station at Liverpool cannot make out Woolton or Wootton?
-
Why was an English policeman stationed in Tipperary? I don't see any mention of him in the RIC records. Was he military police?
-
Hello. He was born in Geashill, County Offaly, joined the RIC, who stationed him in Tipperary from 1857 to 1864. He married in Dublin and then joined the English police force.

Thank you for information, that you kindly sent. In the Leeds, Yorkshire, English census of 1881, it states that Sarah was born in Kildare in 1842. This would only have been a few miles away from where William was born (Geashill).
-
Could 'Cashel' have been Geashill too?
-
It is possible. Not sure if Sarah had followed William down to Co Tipperary. Cashel is only a few miles away from Tipperary. Cannot thank you enough for your information.
