Searching for Thomas Burt

[Morganllan]

Hello 

There is a British Postal Museum and Archive which hold records of Post Office employees:

Are you familiar with Genuki site? Here's the Liverpool page:

I must have missed seeing this.I would be very interested if you find out any more about the Edwards family of Sarah.

Hi Russell 

Sarah was born abt 1810 at Tremerchion, Flintshire according to 1861

Again, thank you very much for your help Morgan, I will have a good look at that and see if I can order one of the catalogues which will hopefully have Thomas listed. I have used the Genuki before and found it very usuful as the link to the lancashire parish allows you to search for relatives. My partner is also researching her family tree which is dotted around yorkshire and Lincolnshire, but there doesn't seem to be as much information with regards to parish records for those areas on Genuki.

I am applying for his marriage certificate today  so hopefully find out who his parents were and confirm who Sarah Edwards parents were.

Hi William, with what Morgan has put, does that look like it could be the Sarah you are looking for? I will keep you posted after I receive the marriage certificate and delve a little further.

With viewing parish records at the liverpool records office, do they hold the same information as a marriage certificate e.g. occupation, bride and grooms parents?

At this moment in time I am only purchasing the certificate of Thomas and Sarah as I am 90% convicned that the Burts after them are correct (the visit to the archives is to confirm this and start adding a bit of life to their names). (I say at the moment as it has cost me a small fortune getting started so I am not finiancially in the position to obtain a ton of certificates just yet).

Thanks Redda and Morgan,after seeing the Census entries though I'm afraid to say it is very unlikely that your Sarah belongs to my Edwards families who hailed from the Bagillt area of Flintshire.

William Russell Jones.

Well I visited the archives and managed to find the marriage certificate Was strange seeing their signatures. I discovered that Thomas's dad was called Thomas. His second name is spelt Birt but his son (who got married) is spelt Burt (it looks like they were writing Birt but then corrected it but not the dads spelling of the second name). Thomas's dad had died before the wedding so was not present.

Sarah's father was called Edward. So he was Edward Edwards
He was also dead before the marriage.

And thats where I have become stuck. Not sure where to go from here, warwickshire does not seem to have a searchable opc like the liverpool and lancashire one.

Hi Redda

That's great news that you have found the father's names of Thomas and Sarah. You could ask a Moderator to move this thread to the Warwickshire board to see if someone can find a Baptism for Thomas Birt/Burt, son of Thomas. The IGI has a couple of possibilities christened at Saint Phillips, Birmingham, Warwick within the right timeframe:

If you want to find Sarah Edwards, daughter of Edward Edwards, born about 1810 at Tremerchion, Flintshire, you could try the Flintshire board if you can't visit the local record office there.

Kind Regards
Morgan

Redda, I searched for Sarah wife of Thomas Burt. I posted this about 7 years ago.
I am looking for information, (and any methods ) regarding my ggg grandfather william Williams, a miner, born about 1798 in Cyffylliog, Denbighshire. (so says the 1851 census). He married Jane (maiden name unknown), and had at least 4 children. Ebenezer ( my gg grandfather b 1842 Dymeirchion ),John Williams ( b 1840, Dymeirchion) and Jane Williams (b,1835 Newmarket) and Margaret Williams (b. 1833 Newmarket).
The 2 girls seem to be in Liverpool in 1861 as a niece to Thomas and Sarah Burt. Sarah was born in Dymeirchion about 1810.

I do not have ancestry.com anymore, but you may have solved my Jane Williams history. I am a little out of touch with this search from 7 years ago. but I obviously, at the time, found the 2 Williams girls with Thomas and Sarah Burt in 1861 as nieces. If they are nieces, then a good chance Edwards was Jane's (b 1799) maiden name. especially since Sarah is from the same area (Dymerchion/Tremerchion)

If you have any other info, I would appreciate hearing from you. If you have ancestry, I would love to see copy of this entry in 1861.
