Richard Watts & Sarah Rosier

[Jules1]

Hi

Please can anyone help me as I have hit a brick wall.

I have a Richard Watts born/baptized on 24/09/1780 (in the Inkpen area of Berkshire) died 03/05/1851 in Inkpen.

He married a Sarah Rosier (Rosher) believed to be born/baptized 19/04/1789.

I believe Sarah's parents to be Robert Rosier and Sarah Coxhead.

However, the brick wall that I have hit, I have also found a Sarah Rosier from the same area born/baptized 19/08/1781 - parents are William and Ann Cross.

I can't find a death for Sarah Watts in the Hungerford District either but know it is after 1851 as she is with Richard in the 1851 census record.

The brick wall I have hit, is how do I definitively know which Sarah is the correct one and obviously which is the correct set of parents?

I've been stuck on this for a long time, so any help would be gratefully appreciated.

Many thank to anyone that can help me.
Jules

They don't name any children Robert or Sarah. however they do have children William and Ann.

His parents are Francis and Ann.

I'd just seen that one as well. Maybe when Sarah was widowed she went to live with one of the children. Did any go to Lambourn?

We have two Sarah Rosier born within a few years of each other  in Ramsbury. There is a Marriage of a Sarah Rosier in Ramsbury in 1813 to a William Alexander. She might be the other Sarah and you can eliminate her from your possible pair.

hi
can you confirm sarahs birth you say 1789 but the 1851 census says abt 1779 born Ramsbury, Wiltshire, England

[LizzieL]

I think the 1789 Sarah married William Alexander in Ramsbury and the 1781 Sarah married Richard Watts in Inkpen. The ages on census seem to match better

I think the 1789 Sarah married William Alexander in Ramsbury and the 1781 Sarah married Richard Watts in Inkpen. The ages on census seem to match better

I would agree.

The 1813 marriage in Ramsbury has a witness Phoebe Rosier - maybe possible sister?
