Hi there...thanks for the note. The father of Sarah was my 5x gg...Thomas a grocer and his wife Elizabeth Mayors. I do have information at home but until the middle of April, I will not have access to it as I am away for the winter. I do know that she did indeed marry Thomas Stephens. Do you belong to Genes Reunited? Where do you live? If you like, you may contact me at mt email.

Just a bit of info.

 Quite often middle names especially when surnames are the Mothers or grandmothers of either sides maiden name.

This is not always so unfortunately in my own case

My ancesters were a Mary Newby who married a William Leggett. One of their children was named Elizabeth Loutid Leggett.
With lots of help found Elizabeth was given the name from her Mothers sisters married name, Elizabeth Loutidd nee Newby.

Thank you, Trish. We've discovered quite a few middle names like this, which can help you be sure you have the right family. However, Weatherburn seems still to be a mystery but I've learnt that we sometimes proceed with small steps and occasionally in big leaps. Discovering this site, by googling "Thomas Hedley-grocer" has helped immensely when I'd hit a brick wall1 Thank you to everyone on the Hedley family trail!

In our case, ithe mother was Elizabeth Mayors and the the father was Thomas Hedley. I have never seen any mention of Sarah's middle name of Wetherburn (sp). I have information on the family members of Elizabeth and no  person on her side of the family has this name. Also, it was not mentioned on the Hedley side of the family either.

Hi All,

MM this is interesting

Wetherburn, Weatherburn and even your surname interests table Billie has WELLBURN.

Hope you all sort it out.

Have you tried Hugh Wallis Middle Names site? Maybe you will find a link.

Cheers,
Trish

Dear billie

When you get home I would appreciate the details of the death/burial of Elizabeth Hedley, nee Mayors, wife of Thomas, the grocer, if you have them.

Thanks
