Where Were Sarah's Children Born?
« on: Thursday 08 September 11 22:29 BST (UK) »
Sarah Williams is a widow living in Brynford Flintshire in 1881-RG11/5504/7/8.

To help with finding out what happened to her children I'd like opinions on the place in Staffordshire where her children Sarah aged 9 and John aged 7 were born please?

Regards

I can't find it William,do you think it has been mistranscribed.I see her husband was a lead miner and there were lead mines in Staffordshire,it was used in the ceramics industry,which would explain how he and his family came to be there.

It looks like Tourton and whilst I can't see any place of that name in Staffordshire, I have noticed several 'Turton' road/street names in and around the county. I wonder if there was a place known as Turton at that time?

Thanks,yes you have hit on the right family.With such popular names it doesn't make finding later info easy!The only one I've made progress with so far is the Barbara and I couldn't find her in 1891!

I believe her maiden name was Sarah Evans.Sarah Evans married a Joseph Williams at Flint St Mary in 1865.

I'm wondering whether the place beginning with T could in fact be Trefonen Shropshire where the couple were in 1871-RG10/2781/24/3.

I'm wondering if the transcriber has misheard Tunstall in Staffordshire.
