Delighted to find this site by accident!  Sarah Weatherburn (Wedderburn!) is my gg grannie and I am just finding out about her.  Her son William was a mariner and had a "fling" with a young tea traveller 20 years his junior which resulted in my grandfather!  I am desperate to find out more about Sarah's son William Saunders Stephens.  On the topic of middle names, Saunders came from the paternal grandmother's maiden name.

Does anyone know anything about Jane Inlock?  I can find no-one else with that surname - anywhere at anytime!  I wonder if somewhere along the line there was a transcription error.

Anyway, if anyone wants to get in touch please do and if you need research in South Wiltshire, UK let me know and I'll see what I can do.

Very pleased to hear of someone else related to Sarah. How much information have you got on the Stephens side? We have your William born in 1855/6 in South Shields and died 13 Dec 1901 in Gateshead. He was a seaman, apprenticed in 1871, a boatswain on "Tynemouth Castle", Kent in 1881, a seaman in 1891 and a gas fitter in 1901.

Sadly your William is not my William!

I realised when I got his death date that he couldn't be mine as my William had a son born in 1903.

Back to the drawing board.

Dear Susan

Not necessarily! We may be wrong about the death. Is any of the information O.K.? Certainly our Sarah had a son called William Saunders Stephens. Do you know anything about his father Thomas's parents?

You asked about Jane Inlock? Who is she? We have a Ruth Unlock, who was Thomas, Sarah's father's grandmother.

Hello Billie,

Isabella Hedley married Elias Shaw Apr-Jun 1849.  They had 1 son,  James Henry Shaw born 1850. 

She also married John William George (my GG Grandfather) on 22/09/1860.  The marriage certificate states both John and Isabella as widowed and that Isabella's father is Thomas Hedley the grocer.  The witnesses are Thomas Hedley and Sarah Stephens, which thanks to this forum I have identified as her brother and sister.

Isabella Hedley's sister Mary Hedley, was John William George's first wife.  John and Mary were married 09/10/1852.  Their marriage certificate states that Mary's father is Thomas Hedley the grocer.  The witnesses are Thomas Hedley and John Hedley.  Mary passed away in 1859.  John and Mary had 2 children, Charles William George and Sarah Ellen George.  Both Charles George and Sarah George migrated to Australia.

All the pieces of the puzzle fit together except for the John Hedley who witnessed John William George and Mary Hedley's wedding.  I expect he is another brother.  Do you know if this is the case? 

Regards,
Robin
