The informant's name may also be helpful...particularly if he/she was related to Sarah Reg

There is one in 1851.....I know the age is 'out', but the age on the death reg is only as known to the informant Name: Sarah Hextall Age: 66 Estimated Birth Year: abt 1785 Relation: Head Gender: Female Where born: Sutton Cheney, Leicestershire, England Civil parish: Market Bosworth Town: Market Bosworth County/Island: Leicestershire Country: England Registration district: Market Bosworth Sub-registration district: Market Bosworth ED, institution, or vessel: 9 Neighbors: View others on page Household schedule number: 199 Household Members: Name Age James Hextall 17 Joseph Hextall 5 Mary Hextall 44 Mary Hextall 3 Richard Hextall 41 Sarah Hextall 66 Thomas Hextall 8 Reg

Hi that the Sarah Reg

I have found the Sarah 1784 in my tree she was m to Jarvis Hextall and their son Jarvis married Mary Aronld so the 1851 family Sarah 66 the rest of the 1851 family data fits in dont know why census shows James and is name was Jarvis and so was the son

1851 census entry for James, grandson, aged 17 looks as if it could say Jarvis - transcriber probably thought it looks like James (and it does at first glance) 1841 census also looks like Jarvis (he was a farmer), but again transcriber probably thought it was James.

If this is the Sarah i am looking for would you think that the BDM would be 10 years out

Death entry ? Name: Jarvis Hextall Year of Registration: 1848 Quarter of Registration: Jan-Feb-Mar District: Market Bosworth County: Leicestershire Volume: 15 Page: 144 (no year of birth / age given, but fits with census info)

If you look at Sarah's estimated yr of birth on census you'll see that it varies !! Suppose like some of us women as we get older, we knock a few years off .... lol

Have you got this? from IGI (familysearch) JARVIS HEXTALL Male Event(s): Christening: 11 JUN 1773 Market Bosworth, Leicester, Parents: Father: JOSEPH HEXTALL Mother: MARY -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- There appears to have been 2 of them ! (20 years apart) JARVIS HEXTALL Male Event(s): Christening: 22 DEC 1793 Market Bosworth, Leicester, England Parents: Father: JOSEPH HEXTALL Mother: ELIZABETH --------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Ian As I said earlier...........please check..........the age at death is only as accurate as the info provided by the informant. Reg

Hi I have seven Javis Hextall in my tree including the one s you have found They all get their name from Mary Jervase b 1733 m to Joseph Hextall b1728
