Find Ancestors

Can anyone help please. I have been going round in circles trying to establish how many children my gt grandmother had to her second husband Jarvis Hemstock.Adding to the confusion his first wife was also called Sarah.
I know she had 4 children to my gt grandfather Samuel Green but until I can establish when Jarvis lost his first wife I do not know how many of the others were hers too.She married Jarvis in oct 1890 and am informed she died in childbirth in 1896.
She had a daughter Ethel shortly after marrying Jarvis and also a son James.
I have the 1881 census when the name is spelt Henstock and the 1891 census but though I can presume the older children are the first Sarahs the ones under 10 in 1891 I can not be sure of
Really would appreciate some help
Regards Jan

First I would establish if the death date is correct just to make sure.

Just realised that I omitted to mention that Jarvis was a coal miner living in Allerton Bywater in 1881 and Nottinghamshire in 1891.

What happened to John Robert, he would have been around 12 in 1891?

Okay, now you should be confused...is this your Sarah Ann's marriage record to Samuel Green?
Notice her maiden name?

Sarah Ann Hemstock 1875 Jan-Feb-Mar Basford Derbyshire, Nottinghamshire

It appears that perhaps an older cousin married her when her first husband Samuel died.

Hi Joan, I think John Robert may have died thoiugh I do not know for sure I have been so involved with trying to sort the Greens from the Hemstocks and Hemstock Greens.
To further complicate things my gt grandmother s mother was a Hemstock so it is not easy to untangle.I presume Sarah married back into her mothers family after she lost my gt grandfather. Jarvis was much older than her.
Your help in finding out when the first Sarah died is the first breakthroughI have had.
Regards Jan

Of course, the only way to be absolutely sure of the parentage of the children is to obtain the birth certificates for all of them!

At £7 per certificate, that might become a little expensive, but it honestly is the only way.

Jan,

Let me know if I can look up anything else for you. PM if you would like actual copies of records.

Joan

Samuel Green married Sarah Ann Hemstock 28/3/1875 Greasley Notts

WOW is all I can say to all that. Have already got some of it but vital bits were missing.
