I think that with no clear info re parents names or where she was born its going to be hard to be sure of right person.

The previous post I had really concentrated on her husband his family and their children etc. Sarah and where she came from is not an easy one. Thanks for trying.

I'll go back to the easier stuff for now and revisit this if I get anything more concrete from family etc

Thanks again

Caie

For goodness sake you've already a thread looking for Sarah- where census, etc. has been posted  :-\

I am sorry - don't want to be one of those 'repeat' requesters. Feel embarrassment. I couldn't find this post but had started this looking for the racehorse training connection as another possible thread

Thank you all for the additional information

Thank you Sinann. That is her.

I think as she died before the family all moved to Glasgow very little is known about her so every little helps.

Sorry gaffy. I should have said 1890. He was born 1864. Cannot believe her father omitted. I have had no luck trying to track her ancestors. Lots of help here previously.

Just noticed the marriage to Sloan. Thanks but as you can see I have her marriage to McCurry.

I had hoped the name would be uncommon

Thank you aghadowey and Sinann

Sarah died in Dec 1907. I was told Ballykelly but unsure if this is where she lived or is buried.

She married Robert McCurry in1864 - Carryclare.

One of their children is a Margaret Leighton Rodgers McCurry born 1905 in Glasgow. I always wondered where the Leighton came from so was interested in the Leighton Alexander was married to in the census extract.

Alexander is a name used often through the family.

It just is so tempting to fit it all together.

Thank you so much for this. Feel it to be so nearly there.

Thanks for this information. I want so much to assume it to be correct!  Area, dates etc would all fit and it would give me something else to work with.

Oh the joys of genealogy. One forward one back.

I'll keep the info and hope one day I'll be able to add to it

Trying to find additional information about a Sarah Ann Rodgers. Born in 1867 and died 1907. Her family was supposedly involved in the training of racehorses.

Does anyone know how I could find out anything that may help find additional information or is this really a needle in haystack?

Any ideas welcomed. Sorry I don't even have parents names.

Thank you

Thank you GR2 - I'll have a look - anything to give me some information. That branch of my family are proving to be a bit elusive  >:(

Deirdre - I was lucky, as it said son and inmate. I have a few instances where there is a big age difference. Usually where the man is a widower and has children, one where his 2nd wife was nearer to age to his oldest son. For a long time I thought it was an error in the Census and should have been daughter.
