WINT & MOSS Families
« on: Thursday 22 March 12 14:54 GMT (UK) »
-The Search-
I'm looking to find the maiden name of Sarah (b. ~1795) who married George MOSS (b. 1793) and lived in Onecote, Staffordshire, England.

-The Details-
Sarah died in 1837 and so the census records are not helpful in that regard (telling me where she was born).
The likely candidate is Sarah DEAVILL, who married a George MOSS in 1818 in Alstonefield.  However, there are a couple of other possibilities and therefore we cannot say for sure that our Sarah is DEAVILL.

-The Connection-
George MOSS and Sarah had a daughter named Pheobe MOSS (b. 1829 in Onecote, Staffordshire, England) who married Francis WINT (b. 1819 in Cauldon, Staffordshire, England).  Francis WINT had a son, John WINT (b. 1862 in Leek), who married Martha Jane KING (b. 1874), they had a daughter Nellie May WINT (b. 1906 in Alabama), who married Ray WRIGHT (b. 1899), who was my grandfather.

-The Idea-
I've had the feeling that I can find information on the maiden name of Sarah Moss by information (treasures, letters, journals, pictures...etc...) from the WINT side.  Likely from John WINT on down.

-The Plea-
If anyone has information on the descendants of John WINT it would be very helpful.  My grandmother moved to Wyoming to get married and so I don't know much about that side of my family at all.
If anyone has further information on Sarah Moss, or if you know a way I can verify that Sarah is DEAVILL, then that could be even better.  Thank you.

Hi

Source, IGI (extracted record):
27 Jun 1818 George Moss & Sarah Deville, Alstonfield, mar.

There are a few submitted records on the IGI that are confusing, however, there is one extracted record:
16 Mar 1828 Phoebe Moss d. of George Moss & Sarah, Onecote, bap.

Hope this helps.

Regards
Geoff

Geoff,

Thanks for looking that up.  That is the one we believe is our ancestor; but we have yet to prove it.

Hi

The 1881 census appears to confirm the findings and your info; haven't found them in 1871 yet...
