Help with Sarah Etheridge of Horsham b.1794

[mikebrunger]

So, with this from you and JonW, does that mean:

My Sarah Etheridge, b.1794, married Arthur Beer in 1821 but died sometime later in 1825/26 after having produced a son William in 1822? Arthur re-married in 1829 to Mary as record shows he was a widower?? Sarah would have been 31/32 years old when she died.

Your Sarah may not have married Arthur.  The 1827 death does not support a 1794 birthyear

There are Sarah Etheridge marriages in Capel, Surrey, in 1829 (a minor) and in Horsham in 1830 (to William Mitchell) that can probably be ruled out.

Could she have died young?

Thanks Jon. Shipley is where Sarah's father John was born. and I have the record of his death being 1821 in Shipley so there is a strong connection between the two persons. Funny I could not find the Shipley death of Sarah in 1815/16 on Ancestry or FindMyPast unless I was searching incorrectly.

Thankyou for this. I have not used freereg before so it is very useful.
