Kath, on the 1851 census it shows Sarah's father William as having been born in Liverpool, but on 1841 it says Warwickshire? but that is on the transcription and not shown on the census image so may be an assumption on someone's behalf. I've done a bit more looking and your William has actually a third place of birth! On the 1881 census he is with his wife Ann and Grand-daughter Sarah Ann Grolage (probably should be Groutage), he is still listed as a Japanner but this time is place of birth is Plymouth, Devon.

Yeah o know that's what's confusing ive got him as Plymouth too. Thanks kath

I have found a birth for a William Tranter born 27th January 1812, in Plymouth his parents are Joseph and Ann, but I can't find any for him in Warwickshire or Liverpool around when he would have been born. I also checked Shropshire(where the gun makers family are from) as you wondered if Sarah was related to William Tranter the gunmaker and there are a few William Tranter's born between 1811 and 1813 but with no concrete details about your William it'd be hard to prove a connection.

hello again i thought i put this on a old tread as there is new query i could do with some help with....
whilst updating my records i decided to get a sibling birth certificate of sarah tranter as she was born in 1836 through the gro but looking at the siblings moms maiden name they have all come up as hensaw
ann maria 1848
emmala 1845
benjamin 1852
alice 1858
we had always thought that sarah mom was ann standley as on the 1851 census it states that wife sister maria standley lived with the tranters.
is there any way i could try to see if sarah mom was standley or hensaw apart from purchasing certificate of sibling
thanks kath
-
There's a big gap between Sarah & Emmala which might indicate a 2nd. marriage. Maybe Ann Standley was previously married to a Henshaw.
William Tranter Bach. = Ann Henshaw Spin. (image says Inshaw) 6/6/1837 St. Mary's Handsworth.
Both signed X

there was a mary ann tranter born before sarah so maybe you are righht. might have a look to see if there is a death for a ann tranter maybe she died in child birth and william married again
thanks kath

modified above post.
Mary & Sarah were born before Wm. & Ann married. I'll have a look to see who their mother was.

Mary Ann Tranter b. 21/8/32
Sarah Tranter b. 4/9/36 parents Wm. & Ann.
Baptised together 6/2/37.

thanks jim i know that sarah was born around 4th sept 1837
-
so there is two sarah tranters then.
sarah tranter married a abraham groutage , ive bought wedding certificate as i could not find it online and it states william tranter was her dad and he was a jappener and the census i have for them states william tranter jappener .
for example 1851 census subscribed as granton jappener but if you look on census pages subscriber error.
sub-registration district St Mary
ED, institution, or vessel 12
Household schedule number 145
Piece 2057
Folio 325
Page number 35
thanks kath

Not sure how you work that out.
To find the Standley/Henshaw connection you need to look at those families.
Maybe they were half-sisters.
-
ive just found another child ann tranter 1840 born to william a jappener on baptism record and then went into gro mom name inshaw . totally confused now
kath
-
Saw that birth.
Maria Standley was dau. of Thomas & Maria nee Inshaw married 1821 St. Mary's Handsworth.
-
ive just looked up baptisms for most of insaw/ hensaw and the sarah baptism children all have william as a jappener price street

Seen all of the Baptisms up to Alice.

thanks jim . they were all gunmakers by trade. i think there is a gumaker museum in price street so will have to go. i think maybe get ann certificate as nearest to sarah age ?
-
You don't need the cert. to find her mother's maiden name, just do a free search on GRO.
-
ok thanks jim.
im wondering if ann hensaw/ ann standley are the same person . could it be feasible that ann mother was unmarried when she had her but married hence maria standley
kath
-
I'm confused, who's Ann Standley?
Maria Standley is dau. of Thomas & Maria Standley nee Henshaw/Inshaw.
-
sorry jim i thought i mentioned it before. we thought ann tranter mom of sarah and siblings was ann standley as on the 1851 census it states that maria standley was wife sister.
kath
-
The Maria Standley relationship is incorrect.
Ann is definitely Ann Henshaw/Inshaw. She's probably related in some way to Maria Henshaw/Inshaw who married Thomas Standley.
-
ok thank you jim . much appreciated
kath

I think I may have sorted it.
George Inshaw married Maria Hartley 1806 Aston.
Children:
1807 George
1810 d.1837 Elizabeth mother of Thos b. 1833 (below)
1813 Ann married William Tranter.
1817 William (below)
1819 John
1823 George James.
Looking again at the 1841 census;
Thos Stanley 45 gunmaker
Maria Stanley 50 was Inshaw nee Hartley m. Thos. Standley as Maria Henshaw 1821.
Thos Stanley 15 Son
Maria Stanley 11 Dau. appears with Ann Tranter in 1851 & therefore half-sister.
Wm. Henshaw 20 gunmaker son (father George Inshaw)
Thos. Henshaw 8 G/son illeg. son of Elizabeth b. 1810 (above)
All born B'ham
