Thank you so much for the webpages explaining what may be found in the various certificates. Wonderful.
No, that's his son George Snape married to Mary Turner. I'm looking further back to George Snape (born about 1818) and wife Sarah (born about 1817) . Sorry, I should have explained that. A bit confusing there. George Snape is married to Sarah and you've already found them with their family in 1851 and 1861. They were probably married 1841 or before. The younger George Snape and wife Mary are indeed in 1871 with somebody's sister called Sarah, age 13. That Sarah could be the daughter of the older Snapes--thus, her mother Sarah may have died by then.I presumed the older George Snape should still be living in 1871 since I think I found him in 1881 with son Walter.
Does that make sense? I haven't found the marriage of the older George Snape and Sarah--or births, or parents. I found a death certificate in Scotland which gave me information which I had never been able to find before (for years). I'm hoping maybe a death certificate in England may be that helpful!
Thank you!
