Do you have William and Sarah's marriage certificate? This would hopefully give their fathers' names and occupations, which may help to find them all in the census.

I think you need to get the marriage cert. so you have her fathers name as a check point...........otherwise how would you know if the right Sarah Burdess was found. :)

ok the one born in 1893 has this info on IGI Sarah Burdess Female Birth: 23 FEB 1893 Christening: 15 MAR 1893 West Rainton, Durham, England Death: Burial: -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Parents: Father: George Burdess Mother: Maggie Burdess So if you order the cert and she is 20 it probably is this one

Thanks Zoe, I should imagine it would be one of the first 2 names you gave me ,as the others would be too young to marry in 1913.Its just strange there is no sarah on any of the census for about the time she was born. Sue

if you have access to 1901 just put in the parish and the family surname Unless it has been mistranscribed - if so put in parish name as keyword and put father or mothers first name and age +/-1 and you will get them! Zoe
