[No1 Gal]

Hi to all,

i am trying to find the parents of Sarah Seater born abt 1731 in pensridge stafford, I know she married a Thomas Wildblood snr in 1779 and they had a son Thomas born abt 1780.

any help/advice would be much appreciated.

Hi

Are you sure about the dates - If born in 1731, she would have been almost 50 when she married and had the child.

There is an IGI marriage - extracted record for Thomas Wildblood & Sarah Geater 15 Feb 1779 and a child Thomas baptised 5 Dec 1779, both at Stoke on Trent. There is another Thomas, christened 10 Oct 1784, also son of Thomas and Sarah.

http://www.familysearch.org/Eng/Search/frameset_search.asp?PAGE=igi/search_IGI.asp&clear_form=true

There are a number of submitted IGI records for Sarah - all giving birth dates from 1740-1750, but it seems doubtful a parish record has been sighted. There is also an extracted record for a baptism for Sarah  Gater in 1735 - parents Thomas and Mary. This seems a slightly better option but she would still be 45 when having the first child.

A family search gives 6 children to Thomas and Sarah, the last being baptised in 1789, so I think the 1730s birth is rather impossible - unless I am mistaken and there are 2 Thomas & Sarahs    You did mention Thomas Snr - is there also a Thomas Jnr who married a Sarah?

To do a family search, put  thomas Wildblood in the father column, Sarah in the mother - give a date e.g. 1780 +/- 20  and a location, BI England Staffordshire - this will give all the children in this time period. (apologies if you have done all of this)

Thomas wildblood was born abt 1780 and married Elizabeth Hick abt 1814 woodlesford?

Thomas wildblood's parents were Thomas Wildblood senior (born 1727  Pentsridge)and Sarah seater( born 1731 Pentsridge) they maried 1779 and had a child Thomas born abt 1780 place says Not York,

but Thomas Wildblood senior was married before and that was to a Hannah Malkin born abt 1731 stoke-on-trent they married in 1748 stoke-on-trent but no children listed.
does this help at all

Not from what I have seen on the IGI - Are the Thomas Wildblood and Sarah Geater married in Stoke 1779 a completely different family?

Hi,
The start of my research is with a Joseph Dobson born 1822 Pollington, he married Elizabeth Wildblood born 1823 woodlesford, they married 16th march 1843 woodlesford rothwell parish.

Elizabeth Wildblood's parents are Thomas Wildblood born abt 1780 not york, and elizabeth hick born abt 1782 micklesfield, they married abt 1814 woodlesford.
They had children-mary, george,thomas jnr and elizabeth.

Thomas wildblood (father of elizabeth born 1823) parents were Thomas wildblood senior and sarah seater.


Thomas wildblood snr born 1727 pentsridge married sarah seater 1779 and had a child Thomas born 1780. but Thomas wildblood senior was married before to Hannah Malkin born 1731 stoke-on-trent they married in 1748


Too many Thomas's? have i gone wrong somewhere?

Repeating your information, really doesn't help me. Have you looked at the information I found?

I don't know where you have found your information - but when a record is listed as

born abt ...  it usually means someone has guessed this fact and is not very reliable. Where  is "not york" as a location??

Where did you find a record of Thomas Wildblood marrying Sarah Seater in 1779. I found Thomas Wildblood marrying Sarah Geater in 1779.

Sorry - I really can't help if you are sure your information is correct. I find it almost impossible to believe that a lady aged 49 in 1780 would have had a child. Most of that age that have children today use IVF. I did know one lady who conceived naturally at 47, but it wasn't the first child of a marriage.
