Sarah Newett born sheffield 1914 mothers maiden name Ward and father Newett trying to find wedding off Sarahs parents can any one help please.thanks.

If her mother had been married before the marriage will not be in her maiden name.
Have you got the birth certificate for first names?

No only on Sarahs birth on free bmd says mother ward.

As there is no obvious marriage on free bmd, have you any further information about the family?
She does not appear to have any siblings.

Is this her marriage?
Marriages Dec 1934
Newett Sarah Redfern Sheffield 9c 1243
Redfern Arthur Newett Sheffield 9c 1243

Sarah married Arthur Redfern in 1934 sheffied but i dont have any certificates. thanks

I think you are going to have to get the birth and marriage certificates if you want to go further back. No extra family knowledge?
Did she die in 1939?

You need Sarah's birth cert, which will cost £9.25 if ordered on line from the GRO

I dont have a death for her,all i know is that Arthur was my grand fathers brother,and my mum said that he married sarah but they didnt see much of the family.

IN 1911, there is only person named Newett living in Sheffield

********Married 12 years - 6 children (2 of whom have died)

I can see two daughters for her marriage, then that possible death.
It now depends how much you want to find her parents as to whether you buy the certificates, or stop searching that part of your family.
You have Madge in your tree, are you in contact with her to find out more information?

Yorksbmd is no use for this - nor are the West Yorks baptisms on Ancestry.

Sorry, Reggie, I found some more - Fred(slightly old) and Henry(rather young) And I had not looked at mis-spellings and people moving after 1911.

There are several Newetts on the 1911 living at Ecclesall Bierlow-jl

Hi i have Madge and a pat as daughters of Sarah and Arthur,but i dont no if they are still alive or were they are living mum says when the familys married they drifted apart thanks

If you haven't had contact with Sarah's daughters, you are contravening site guidelines by including them in your GR tree. You must have permission to include living people in your tree on here

If you wish to pursue this quest with any degree of accuracy, you are going to to have to fork out for a cert

Ref: Robert Newett that Reggie found.

Marriages Dec 1902
Calton Lily Sheffield 9c 1047
Harrison Albert Sheffield 9c 1047
LIEVESLEY Mary Elizabeth Sheffield 9c 1047
Newett Robert Sheffield 9c 1047

Then found a possible marriage for a Mary Elizabeth WARD to a Lievesley:

Marriages Jun 1896
France Florence Sheffield 9c 832
HATCHER Charles Sheffield 9c 832
LIEVESLEY Tom Sheffield 9c 832
Ward Mary Elizabeth Sheffield 9c 832

(Is anyone able to check this out please?)

Hi Thanks for your help.
Christine,do you think that Mary Elizabeth Ward married Tom Lievesley in 1896 and then married Robert Newett in 1902 ?

That is what Christine is proposing.

So a death for Tom Lievesley is needed between 1896 and 1902, and a census entry in 1901 for Mary E Lievesley. Both around Sheffield.

However Reggie's Robert Newett in 1911 has been married 12 years, whilst the marriage found was in 1902.
However, no marriage for Robert in 1898/1899 showing.

Also in 1902 Robert could have married Lily, and in 1896 Tom could have married Florence.

So a lot of checking is needed to explore all these possibilities.
And I cannot even find any married Newett for a wife for Robert in 1911 around Sheffield (or,in fact, anywhere in the country, so she must be hiding under another name).

This could be the 1911 Robert, sorry, still having problems with ancestry, so cannot read image.
