A long shot, and I need to did out my tree/papers/evidence etc but I have a Philip and Sarah Parker in my tree.  From Stokenchurch/Lewknow/Ragnage area.....

Need to confirm but is this a big part of your tree? 

Thanks

No, but the village of Stokenchurch is of great interest to me.
I am researching the families of all the residents of the village in  the 1841 census and the families linked to them.
So any info is very welcome!

OOh, that would be brilliant.  I have neglected my tree for a while so need to refresh my memory...  I have had difficulty with Stokenchurch info, I think this is because it changed counties a few times.  I was last in Stokenchurch in August looking for headstones - but no joy.  I will look at my info and let you know.

Thanks for your reply

Hi, My name is Melanie, I am the direct descendant of Georgina Sadler. William Sadler and Ann were possibly both on their third marriages when they met. I a researching my tree and I found in 1853 Ann Parker married William Sadler. It also mentions George Ayres which is possibly her first marriage. After William died she went on to marry Thomas Frewen. Ann was born in Stokenchurch, which at that time the county was under Oxford not Bucks or berks. That I think causes the problems when you are searching for people.
To find out more, just look up The Sleeping Girl of Turville on Wiki, or click on my link here, where I wrote about the sleeping girl of turville who is Ellen Sadler their daughter:

I have been going nuts trying to figure out the Ann and William Sadler Marriage. I think what has happened is that Ann married William the same year as his first wife, Patience, died. I noticed a child, thomas, born 1841, which means Patience probably died in childbirth. Other census say William married Ann in 1846, but I think this is wrong, not sure.

I have come to the conclusion, that the 1841 census stating Ann and william sadler are actually brother and sister! Our Ann sadler would have been too young. She had already been married before william, so I believe this one was probably a twin of William, or at least a sister. After Patience died Ann, (sister) moved in to look after the two children. Phew! Got there in the end!I believe Ann Ashby to be williams new wife in 1846. The Ann parker link is wrong as Ann is mentioned in the 51 census, and according to records parker didn't marry till 56'.

So, Ann ashby married William Sadler, while living in Stokenchurch, four years after the death of his first wife Patience. Ann sadler, (sister), on census 41' is only looking after him and the children.

Familysearch has William Sadler marrying Patience Hollum at Turville on 1 may 1834

[Melanie2]

Yes, thanks Lizzie, that's right, I have added it to the Tree. Who are you related too? my direct descendant was Georgena, or Georgina.

One final thing. The reason why nobody could find Ann Sadler nee Ashby is because she was born in Radnage! Phew! lol!

Here are two links that will give the Radnage Ashby line:

I have cross referenced them all and found them to be the right ones.
