Hi everyone,

anyone have any links to Sarah Snaith who married Robert Best, between 1832 and 1837 please? Desperately trying to find their marriage certificate, but having no success.

thanks

If they married before 1.7.1837 - there won't be a certificate - just an entry in the parish register

[CaroleW]

Do you have this couple on any census?

Hi Carole

I have Sarah on 1861 in Thornaby, she was born in Whitby in 1818. On 1841 census with her husband in West Derby, Lancashire, the enumerator has them as being born in that county, which isn't correct.

Why did you think the marriage could have been 1832-1837?

The 1841 shows no children and Sarah is only 20yrs (23 really) old and Robert 25

They may not have married in Yorkshire.

Did you get Sarah's maiden name from one of their childrens birth certs? 

Can you post full 1861 details as I cannot find an entry for a Sarah Best b 1818 Whitby

Hi Carole

sorry, I'll explain myself a bit better ....it's been a long day.
Sarah marries (I assume) Robert Best sometime (again I assume) before the birth of their first child John in 1841, which I assumed perhaps after she was 16 in 1832 and before 1841. they're living in West Derby, Lancashire.
In 1851 she is living at Bridge St. Thornaby, Stockton on Tees, but has appeared to have re-married to a Jospeh Patterson. I have this marriage date.

I have all 3 births of the Best children, John, Eleanor and Robert, and on these certificates Sarah gives maiden name Snaith, and father Robert Best. On the certificate of 4th child Sarah, born 1848, Sarah does not name the father, and only calls herself Sarah Best and not "formerly Snaith".

I'm unsure if Robert Best died, or just moved on. The reason for trying for find the marriage info for Sarah and Robert, is to pinpoint Robert's father or Robert's birth location, so that I can continue my tracing.

thank you for your input Carole, I'm very greatful. Any help tracking this info down is a boon.

Hi Carole

Sarah just states married on the 1851 census return. According to the IGI, her parents are John and Elizabeth.

This is all I have for her at the moment. Just thinking outside the box and trying a different approach to getting the marriage information.

apologies be must log off until tomorrow, if I don't get this meal on the go, I'll be looking for alternative accomodation !

Will pick up any replies tomorrow, but seriously, I do appreciate your input.

regards

Lynn
