Hi
Sarah and John are my 3rd Great Grand parents.
Sarah's maiden name is Illingworth (but cannot find her parents). Sarah had Thomas b1830 before she married John Holgate, Thomas became a Holgate when Sarah and John married. But when Thomas married a "Ann Holgate" he reverted back to Illingworth.
According to my sources John also had a son George b abt 23 Feb 1822 before marrying Sarah. But on further investigation I have come across a Christening date of 9 Mar 1822, for George, with the mother being named as Sarah Illingworth.
John and Sarah were married on 26 May 1831. So I am wondering if George Illingworth may also be Sarah's son.
