Member Since: August 2005 Posts: 9 Send Message	Can anyone help me with finding a baptism/birth record for Sarah Presbury. Sarah married a Joseph Oakley in 1817 Cheshunt, Hertford. On the 1851 England census it says that Sarah was b. abt. 1798 St Georges in the East, Middlesex. I did find a Sarah Presbury b. 1796 St Saviour Parish, Southwark, Surrey. Parents were William Presbury and Patience Perry. I am wondering if they were her parents as Joseph and Sarah named their first child Sarah Patience Oakley b.1818 Enfield Middlesex. I would appreciate it very much for any help. William Presbury married Patience Perry 1792 Clerkenwell Islington. Estelle :-)
