I am trying to find the baptism of Sarah Addy who was born c1799 in Stonehouse.
It doesnt appear to be on the IGI.
If anyone can help it would be appreciated.
thanks,
Siobhan

Bumping this up as still stuck on tracing her line back.
I think other variations of the surname might be Ady, Addie, Eddy, Edy, Eddie etc
-
I see a match for a Sophia Charlotte Ady coming up in the Plymouth and Devonshire baptisms index for 1806. I am wondering if that might be a sister. I know Sarah had a daughter Charlotte so am like at repeating of names, maybe from her mother or fathers side.
I also see a death of a Charlotte Ady in 1823. Wonder if that could be their mother. Obviously just guesses at the moment
Does anyone have access to the records to look up details?
Thanks in advance
-
Hmm I think the Sophia Charlotte born 1806 is a daughter of William Ady and Sophia Charlotte March and they didn't marry till after Sarah was born, so I think I have ruled them out.
Unless of course these are her parents and William was married before. Maybe sarah name a daughter after he step mother middle names. (Again all just speculation).

So I have been looking at all the children of William Ady and Sophia Charlotte March, two of the children left Devon for essex and london. William Brice Ady and Emily Mary Ady. Sophia Charlotte and Letitia Frances died young in Plymouth and Rose Emily and Mary Frances Brice Ady married in Devon and appeared to stay there. No clues from witnesses
So I still do not know if my Sarah Ady is the daughter of William and Sophia Charlotte and haven't been able to find any clues as yet.
there is also a William Nore Addey born 1801 in stoke damerel to Henry and Elizabeth, so she could be a daughter of them.

could someone look at the marriage of Sarah Addy in 1817 stoke dameral and then compare to the Marriage of Henry Adday in 1824 in Stoke Dameral. You will see how Henry Adday signs his mark, is that the same signature as the Witness on Sarah Addy's marriage in 1817?
Edit: the witness Elizabeth lee on Sarah Addys marriage I have also found on a marriage of Elizabeth Eddey in 1816. Then on this Elizabeth marriage in 1816 there is another witness Henry Eddey. This Henry Eddey is also a witness I believe on a marriage of Richard Eddey in 1819
On Sarah's marriage can anyone work out the initial for the Eddey witness.
Thanks in advance

Have you noticed that the marriage in 1824 in Stoke Damerel is indexed at FS as Henry ADDAY or EDDEY?

Lends support to the interchangeable name theory. ;)
(I don't have access to FindMyPast to look at the records to see what that one actually seems to say.)

This might be of interest - a Canterbury Marriage Licence entry
Thos Ady of Queenborough mariner bach & Mary Brice of the s minor, at Q. 20 Aug 1766.
They later have a son in Chatham, Richard Brice Ady

I am certain my Sarah is related somehow. It is just piecing it together and finding who the parents are. There is nothing definate standing out for who her parents might be. I think the family with Sophia Charlotte as mother are too young to be her parents as their marriage was after she was born, but they are most likely connected as cousins or similar.

Thank you. I have seen that Richard Brice before somewhere, but can't remember where. Will have to look back over records.

Still very stuck on this
-
It appears there is an additional page for this marrige with the name as Eddey.
https://www.familysearch.org/ark:/61903/3:1:3QS7-89Q5-SLSF?i=32&cc=2515875
So it does look like she was Sarah Eddey.
Still stuck on working out who her parents are which means I can't get further back on her side. Any help would be appreciated.
I originally thought the witness was H Eddey, but it looks like it might actually be E.
When it comes to witnesses did one have to be male and one female or could they both be female?
I am hoping the witness might help me crack it.
-
looks like E Eddey. Both could be female. No gender rules for witnesses. Elizabeth Lee witnessed all 3 marriages on the page. In a parish I've transcribed for, a regular female witness was the wife of the sexton.

Thanks so E Eddey could be Elizabeth or Edward - not sure of any other E's? apart from abbreviations Eliza and Edwin, maybe Elspeth
