Hi Alison
Do you know where either Sarah was born? In Oz or England?
I've had a quick look on the NSW BMD indexes and found the marriages of 2 POSSIBLE relatives of Sarah Jnr:
Ruth Rollings m Obadiah FAWYER in Armidale in 1862  and
Mary Elizabeth Rollings m James ROBERTS in Armidale in 1870.
Could they be siblings??
Do you know where & when James & Sarah Jnr died?

Ally - will be interested in what you find!

I think we have corresponded on these folks before - if it turns out what others suspect is true, then she is my relative and you and are cousins!

I'll try doing a bit of digging too!

Hi Allycat

Do you have the marriage certificate of Sarah ROLLINGS & James BEARD?

I note in the indexes there was a marriage in the same year 1868 of Mary Ann BEARD & Thomas ROLLINGS in Armidale. 1536/1868.  Sarah's brother maybe.

I also note there is a Sarah M BEARD dieing in Ashford Inverell 1934 aged 85 Father listed as Thomas.
Another Sarah A BEARD died in Inverell in 1916 parents: William & Sarah A

You have given Sarah's approximate DOB as 1854, this would have made her 14 at time of marriage.  She would have needed parental permission to marry under the age.

Regards

Genni

I have an 1873 NSW marriage certificate which contains very little, but it does give the name of the father of the bride giving permission as she was only 17.

James BEARD & Sarah ROLLINGS had 10 known children:-

4. Charlotte BEARD 1873 Warialda

10. Edith E. BEARD 1888 Warialda married 1913 Ashfield NSW Sydney A. JOHNSON.

A Charlotte BEARD married William HOWE in Inverell in 1895.

Edith E Beard born 1888 was born in Molong

Two more children:
Joseph H BEARD born Inverell 1890 (birth gives parents as James W & Sarah M)
Elizabeth BEARD born Inverell 1894

Elizabeth Sarah BEARD married Samuel COX 1915 in Inverell

Elizabeth COX died 1964 Armidale Parents: James William & Sarah Morris
James William BEARD died 1958 Inverell Parents: James William & Sarah Morris
Joseph Henry BEARD died 1948 Gunnedah Parents: James William & Sarah Morris

So, it would appear the children believe she had the middle name of Morris.

Dear Ladies, Apologies for delay in getting back to you all.  Other half was hogging the PC.

Annie, I don't know where Sarah Junior or even Senior was born.  Not even sure about the born 1845 bit as this hasn't been confirmed.  Year provided by another researcher.  NSW bdms online have heaps of BEARDs and ROLLINGs.  It's a headache trying to sort them out.

Jenn, I think you've found a connection family.  Shall probably know more later on down the track.

KazzaQld, Hello there.  I don't recall corresponding with you previously.  I'm related to the MOST family from Hessen Germany ... see marriage of 9th child of James BEARD and Sarah ROLLINGS.  Watch this space.

Trish, thanks for your input.

Gennie, More often than not I have seen so many times siblings of one family married siblings of another.  It's a good possibility that you have found connections also.

Thank you all for your help and assistance, it is greatly appreciated.  When I catch up with my other researcher, we may sort this out yet.  I've told her about my posting at rootschat.

I shall close now, thanks again.

Alison QLD.

I am a descendant of Moses Rollings & Sarah Blinco and have today solved your problem. The Rollings son, Thomas Blinco Rollings & his wife Maryann Hatley migrated form Swaffham Prior, CAM to NSW in 1860 with their unmarried children and 2 of their married children John & Sarah. Sarah married Thomas Constable 6 Nov 1852. However Sarah had had a child Sarah abt 1849 born Chesterfield CAM. This child is listed as a grandchild on the 1851 census at Swaffham Prior. I have a website www.johnnicholsfh.com which should explain the Cambridgeshire postion. Rollings is spelt Rowlings on my website. I have only discovered the NSW migration in the last week and am quickly filling in details throgh the NSW BDM index and on line cemetery transcriptions.
