ok - thats great - I didnt know that a birth didnt have to be registered......

The marriage cert may be the only way forward then. I had though that if she had a member of her family staying in one of the census (or visa versa)
and I found an earlier census with her name & theirs on it - I could confirm her family without having to buy another cert.

Many thanks Flick

You must bear in mind that, until 1875, failure to register births was not penalised.....so Sarah's birth may NOT have been registered.

IF she knew her father, his name and occupation will be on her marriage cert

THanks Flick

This is ALL that I have on Sarah Ann :

The only Sarah Ann Bennett on the Birth indexes for Nottinghamshire for 1858/9/60 is :
Sarah Ann Bennett Year of Registration: 1859
Quarter of Registration: Apr-May-Jun
District: Bingham
County: Leicestershire, Nottinghamshire
Volume: 7b Page: 337 (not confirmed)
If she was born March and registered the following quarter then it would make her 22 on the 1881 census (and 32 as she is on the 1891)

1861 Census: Pos / probable (not confirmed)

OH ..I now understand.sorry Flick.

It was to prove that something WASNT correct - not that something WAS correct !

I havent yet got the marriage cert for this couple. I thought I would 'have a go' at playing detective first to see if there were any 'clues' in the census' to confirm or not - her family.

The 1861 which I posted proves that the 1871 posted by Salve is NOT the child YOU show in 1861

That was the reason for posting it..................you need to read my comments as well as the census transcript

What is the SURNAME of the 1881 family?

Hi Folks

I am trying to understand these reply postings - and am being a bit 'thick'(?)

Help please........

I have 1861 Sarah Ann Bennet aged 2 with grandparents and Flick has her aged 3 in 1961 with her parents and sibling.

The only Fact that I haveis the 1881 census.........its THIS Sarah that I am trying to trace in earlier census - in order to find her family & siblings etc:
1881 51 Gray St. Leicester.
Walter J. 23. Shoe Finisher. Born Leicester
>>Sarah A. 22. Born Nottingham
Ann M E 3 \Born Leicester
Walter J. 1. Born Leicester.

all help gratefully received

many thanks

Thanks for your help folks........

Am I missing something here?

1861 - Sarah Ann Benett - grandaughter aged 2 with grandparents
&
1861 Sarah Ann Benett - daughter aged 3 with parents & siblings?

Hi Flick

I cant see Sarah Ann's aunt Elizabeth in the 1881 as she would have been married & I havent yet found her married name. ( presume at 14 its her Aunt & not her mum)?

1881 51 Gray St. Leicester.
Walter J. 23. Shoe Finisher. Born Leicester
>>Sarah A. 22. Born Nottingham
Ann M E 3 \Born Leicester
Walter J. 1. Born Leicester.

Sarahs uncle ( or dad)??:
George benett - I cant see him at all in 1881? - puzzled.

I assume that the grandparents - Elizabeth & Smuel are not likely to be around in 1881.
