Sarah Miriam Prior

[markspark53]

Thanks Trish, this has all been very helpful. I will see if anyone has this family in their trees and see what pops up.

In 1871 John is with his Parents in Essex.
William is born c 1796, Little Adams (sic) an Elizabeth c 1799
RG10/1636/33/3
Elizabeth is with Daug Mary c 1839 in 1871. She is now Mary WOSKET, born c 1840, Little Badlow (Hadham on image)
Please dont follow others Trees exclusively as mistakes are often made that way.
I havent looked for 1851/1861 for them yet.

Possible Marriage fro William to Elizabeth CHARGE 1822, Little Hadham, (IGI)

Mull it over and let me know what you think.

Trish, once again you are right - none of the trees coincide anyway.

That new information is something I will have to mull over - as always one has to be careful with the IGI too.

I am sure I have seen the name Charge somewhere today on one of the censuses.

Computers are too fast for my brain nowadays, except when it comes to printing, where I am still way ahead of them.

Christenings to WILLIAM/ELIZABETH Prior, Little Hadham, Hertfordshire
(Source IGI Extracted)
WILLIAM, 02 March 1823
MARY ANN, 30 January 1825
MIRIAM, 25 October 1829
REBECCA, 09 December 1832
JOHN, 20 September 1835

1861 CENSUS William/Elizabeth are in Essex and he is under William PRYAR born 1801, Aldbury, Herts.
Next door is William PRYOR born c 1823, Lattle Hadmes, Herts, who I presume is the Son from Christenings above.

Yes, I understand what you mean about Computers. I can find something quick in the phone-book whilst my Children only use Google!

[trish1120]

1851 CENSUS they are still in Herts under POYER!
I found them looking for Mary born c 1839;
Mary POYER born c 1840, Little Hadham, Herts

Well that finishes all the Census that I can find.

Death Regs;
West Ham Reg District where they are living in Essex.
WILLIAM Prior, June 1877, West Ham, 4a 65, Age 80
ELIZABETH Prior, June 1887, West Ham, 4a 115, Age 87

To be sure of Elizabeths Maiden Name you would need to get Mary 1839's Birth Cert.

Thanks for all your work Trish.

Is there going to be a difference between Mary's birth cert and (Sarah) Miriam's? I ask because yes this does all fit neatly, but nothing really verifies the identity of Sarah Miriam, which is really what I need to do.

[trish1120]

Mary is the only Child born post 1837 when Civil Reg began that shows Mothers maiden name and Father name/ocp.
There is no Birth Cert for Sarah Miriam only a baptism/christening that can be found.

It is a difficult one to verify as she only appears to have been on the 1841 Census as Miriam and is Married by 1851.
The Marriage Cert Fathers name/occp matches though.
One or 2 other Sarah Miriams we can rule out as yours as they are unm in 1851 Census.
There is no Unm Miriam Prior on the 1851 Census that I can find.

I am pretty sure we are right but cant confirm definitely.
Maybe someone else reading this may be able to give an opinion.

Trish

[markspark53]

I'll order up Mary's birth cert anyway, and also see if I can find any Licence or Banns for Sarah Miriam's marriage, they may carry more specific information with luck.

thanks again,
Mark

Let me know the outcome. Good luck
