Thank you for that Orpheus. I hadn't heard of the Eureka Partnership. I have ordered 2 CDs from Bucksfhs. I ordered what I thought was Sarah's brother's birth cert, but I realised after that it was the wrong one. I was hoping to find out if Henry Eustace was born in the workhouse in 1853 and if he had a father recorded.

Thank for all your efforts, it is much appreciated. I am at least closer to working out the family line.

Thanks Steve,

I had thought about buying some of these CDs of areas where I have a lot of relatives. Have you found the CDs useful?

Thanks again for all your help.

Thanks for all your help.

It is quite possible that James was a fictitious father; the only thing is that Elizabeth had a son Henry Eustace as well as Sarah, which makes me doubt it.

As you say Elizabeth's mother could have remarried a Mr East. I will buy Elizabeth and Henry Folly's marriage cert to see if it says anything.

Thanks again

I am trying to research my great great grandmother Sarah Eustace, she married John Lawrence in 1872 in Wycombe. Her brother Henry Eustus was a witness and her father was listed as James Eustus. I can't make out the occupation, it starts with an F. I also purchased her birth certificate which stated she was born on 25 July 1855 in the Wycombe Union Workhouse, Saunderton. Her mother was Elizabeth Eustace, lace maker; no father is mentioned on the certificate.

I am wondering if Elizabeth took the name of Eustace and lived with this James Eustace as his wife. In 1856 Elizabeth married Henry Folly and in the 1861 census it shows Sarah and Henry as Follys and there is Ann East, mother-in-law living with them. I am presuming this is Elizabeth's widowed mother. Sarah, Henry, Elizabeth and Ann were all listed as born in Saunderton. In the 1871 census Henry is again named as Eustace.

Can anyone shed any light on James Eustace or Elizabeth East/Eustace/Folly.

I would be very grateful for any help, thank you all for your wonderful help in the past.
