I'm trying to find more information about my ancestors but in particular my great grandfather. He was William Sargant and founded a coal merchants in the Merstham area of Surrey. This later became Sargant & Martin. William was married to Agnes Gadd who died in childbirth. He married again - Dora Penney. My grandfather was Jesse Sargant, although he is listed as 'Jessie' in the CoLDS 1881 census records. His grandfather was Benjamin Sargant, married to Amelia Vigar. A complication is that part of the family spelt the name as Sargent - including Thomas Henry Sargent, better known as Max Miller. Also Benjamin Sargant's name is recorded as Sergeant and Serjant at different stages of his life! Would appreciate any help, particularly about the coal merchants business and Benjamin's birth & parents. |
