London & Middlesex Lookup Requests / Re: Sarah Porter Basted
« on: Wednesday 03 June 15 19:18 BST (UK)  »
Thanks, both. I have details of the Sarah Morris-John Doyle banns, but hadn't fitted them into the general picture. Re the discrepancy between the dates of the wedding and William's baptism, I'd not given too much thought to it -- another line of the family (according to two independent searches) includes the birth of SEVEN children pre-marriage. Just sexy, I guess; that, or irresponsible. :o 
  As far as David and Sarah are concerned, this could be the end of the trail on current evidence.

Thanks, Annette. Can't recall where I got the marriage detail I have, but it's certainly clear enough on Ancestry. Re the son, the family were living at White's Yard, Whitechapel at the time of his baptism (27 Dec 1809).

Another posting, revealing the former existence of a Basted paper mill in Kent, has set me off again. I'm now checking all Sarah Porters born near Sevenoaks/Maidstone at the end of the 18th century.     
   Another thought. The marriage details show her husband as "David Morris" -- but Sarah's name is given in this order: "Basted Sarah Porter". Does that suggest anything to the more experienced researchers on this board?

Hi, Jeremy
   Just returned to Rootschat after time away, and this thread holds great personal interest, as my grandma (Rebecca Sarah Ann) was the eldest daughter of John Pyne and Rebecca (nee Levoir). I'll have to set to work again; looks as though I need to check out some of my earlier work!

Thanks, Liz. By 1841, of course, she was Sarah Morris. I've found five in the census, all borderline Whitechapel, two of whom fitted the rough social position of a few of my ancestors (female servant and washerwoman); but there's no David Morris with any of them, nor was he living with his only known son -- and the only burial entries in his name are south of the river. Looks like the end of the road unless I call up St Anthony!  ;D

London & Middlesex Lookup Requests / Sarah Porter Basted
« on: Monday 20 April 15 15:31 BST (UK)  »
Back on the family history trail after two years out, and I've run straight into a wall. An ancestor five generations back, David Morris, was married at St Mary, Whitechapel on 13 Dec 1813 to Sarah Porter Basted, apparently of that parish -- but I can't find her under that name, or as Porter OR Basted, in the three resources I've tried. Can anyone help, please?

  PS: Just discovered I posted on this same subject in Jan 2013! No luck yet with a previous marriage, however. I'll keep looking -- unless anyone has a flash of inspiration?

Sorry, Stan -- didn't bother, because it was just a general enquiry, but thanks for the quick take-up. It's HO 107 / 321 / 5 / Folio 13 / Page 21 (East Sunderland). I was intrigued because of the number of people living there.

Durham / Metcalf's Yard, Sunderland

A little local knowledge would be much appreciated. I'm doing a FH search for my daughter-in-law, whose family came from Coundon. I've found them in the 1841 census, minus a brother and sister, in their mid-20s, who are listed together at Metcalf's Yard, Sunderland. Can anyone shine any light on the possible circumstances, please?

Thanks, Rosie. That was my hunch, too -- until I discovered the other Porter. I'll have to keep searching for that marriage!
