Hi

I have checked both St Marys and Holy Trinity Church PR's and can find no trace of a Sarah Vince being baptised or married in either church.

Sorry

Is this them on 1861?
Looks like a second marriage for James

8 Union Sq Clerkenwell

James Mann 50 bricklayer bn Savoy Strand*
Sarah 45 Charwoman bn Bungay Suffolk
Henry 11 son bn Kingsland
Sophia 8 or 18 dtr bn Kingsland

*was he really born at THE Savoy in the Strand?!


I see the marriage at St Pancras, (not Bungay at all) and yes, James was a widower.

1851 only seems to have 2 unmarried Sarah Vinces born in Suffolk
Neither is perfect age wise, but she wouldnt have been the first to have adjusted her age slightly as she got older

there is
a) a 29 yr old servant housekeeper bn Layham
b) a 31 yr old dressmaker bn Kersey.

my suffolk geography is not good enough to know if either are near Bungay

Hi yes thats them James is my ggggrand father, its was his 2nd marriage his first to Sophie Chicheley in 1826 she died in 1843 and he remarried Sarah in 1847 on the wedding bans it says she was from Bungay and her father was Stephen Vince but dead thats all i have to go on im afraid also it said James father was George Mann would love to find him but nothing more to go on.

Going back to 1841
there is possibly the Laylham one age 25 (rounded ages)living with a host of other yound Vince adults who could be siblings, and a MAry age 60 who could be their widowed mother (widow of Steven?)
and possibly the Kersey one  living with what could be parents John and MAry

I have Sarah as a lodger in 1871 age 62 i recon she would be 65 living alone cant find James in 1871

Stephen Vince was buried at St. Mary, Bungay 25/1/1809 aged 33 i.e. bc.1776

A Sarah Vince married a Jonathan George at same place 20/1/1815 - could she have possibly been Stephen's widow? - she then had 3 children:

Jonathan bp.18/2/1818 St. Mary, Bungay
Sophia bp.15/12/1820
Charles bp.23/1/1823

A Sarah George was buried at St. Mary, Bungay 22/1/1823 aged 42 i.e. bc.1781

According to 1851 census Sarah bc.1806 - found 2 other Vince's who married in Bungay who, according to later census, were born in Bungay so possibly sisters of Sarah i.e.

Emily Vince (bc.1802) married to Charles Batelle 5/11/1827 Holy Trinity, Bungay
Harriet Vince (bc.1808) married to Edward Pitt 27/4/1836 St. Mary, Bungay
