seddons of markethill ireland

[postiebob]

i am looking for the parents of sarah m seddon born 1870ish in markethill ireland The family moved to Gateshead uk and Sarah m married a william seddon in 1887 in Gateshead, Durham.

[aghadowey]

Sarah's marriage certificate should list her father's name and occupation. Her birth certificate will list names of both parents. Is Seddon both her maiden and married surname or just her married name?

I can't see a marriage for a William Seddon in Gateshead area in 1887 on FreeBMD. Are you sure of the details?

Good find, JJen.

Searching for a William and a Sarah married 1887 Gateshead finds this-
William Shedden, Jan./Mar.1887 district Gateshead volume 10a page 984
A Sarah Black on same page.

that sounds promising, i will look further. Not sure when the family came over from ireland, have to look for the name black.
thank you

You'll need to work back step by step through available records if you want to find the family in Ireland.

Sarah's marriage certificate will get you her father's name and occupation which might help you trace her family in English census records. You might also get her mother's Christian name from these records.

Where did you get her birthplace as Markethill?

Possible 1881 for Sarah Black -

Thomas Quin   47
Fanny Quin    47
Thomas Quin   14
William Quin   12
Bella Black   17
Harriet Black   15
Sarah Black   step dau 10 b. Armagh Co, Ireland
Catherine Black   7

However, as aghadowey has already advised, you need to obtain certificates to confirm these findings

Hi,
   using Aghadowey's information I can find the baptism of a Sarah Mary Black on 18 Dec 1870 in Markethill First Presbyterian Church. The parents were William Black and Fanny Willis.

Hi, I have now found that Sarah Mary Black was born on 9 Oct 1870.
