Find Ancestors

Could anyone help me find the parents & siblings (if any) of George Reason born in 1825 in Stratford St. Mary, Suffolk.
Many thanks
Angie

IF he married, buy the cert to find out his father's name - you can then use that info to make an informed search for other family members

How did you get back to him?

he married a Sarah Day born 1825

1861 - so it would seem that he did marry

Married Sarah Day.

Can't see him in 1841 or 1851, so the cert is your best bet

Hi Susan & Flick the marriage info is correct, just looking for the parents etc for George & hopefully Sarah, I can't find her on any of the Census info

Family Search seems to be down at the moment.

There is a tree on Ancestry that gives his wife as Sarah Day - married at Stratford St Mary, Suffolk on 14 Feb 1845 and parents as Lucy and James Reason

Hello K, thanks for the info, I don't suppose there are any year dates when thet were born, & maybe where, I am only on GR at the moment.
Thanks
Angie

That 1841 census reads Jas which is short for James and not Jno as transcribed!!!! and the family is living next door to a Robert Reason 21 and his wife and son William.

This is the details of all of them.


Jno Reason abt 1786 Suffolk, England St Mary Stratford, Suffolk


Lucy Reason abt 1791 Suffolk, England St Mary Stratford, Suffolk


Caroline Reason abt 1816 Suffolk, England St Mary Stratford, Suffolk


Anne Reason abt 1820 St Mary Stratford, Suffolk


Robert Reason abt 1820 Suffolk, England St Mary Stratford, Suffolk


Mary Anne Reason abt 1829 Suffolk, England St Mary Stratford, Suffolk


William Reason abt 1840 Suffolk, England St Mary Stratford, Suffolk

and another bit of info!! There is also a Lucy Gunn in the household aged 85 who I suspect is the mother of Lucy Reason James wife.


Lucy Gunn abt 1756 Suffolk, England St Mary Stratford, Suffolk

Oh I do wish Familysearch was online at the moment.
