Ridlington is across the border in Leicestershire, approx. 6 miles so this is not impossible, but would need to be confirmed with further research.

How do you suggest I proceed?

I live in West Yorkshire and am a wheelchair user so I can't easily travel to where the registers might be so I have to rely on the kindness of others and research on the internet.

The first thing I would do is put a request on the Rutland look-up request board. Include a link to this posting for reference so people don't duplicate the look-ups/information already in this post and waste their time.

Based on the idea that Sarah was living in North Luffenham with her husband George Gibson when he died (for no other reason than you have to start somewhere) - ask if anyone has access to transcribed, easily searchable burial records for the years between their marriage and her remarriage to John Clarke and perhaps a few years beyond. If the burial of George is there then it makes Sarah Bains a stronger possibility, if it is found later than the date of her re-marriage then it pretty much rules out Bains as Sarah's maiden name. But also, if there is a burial for another man named Gibson then  that would give another line of enquiry to work on.

It is also possible that they were living in Ridlington which is now in Leicestershire so if Rutland doesn't give you any answers you may have to go to the Leics board also, but always remeber to include links to previous relevent posts so peopl trying to help don't get frustrated when they find out you already know things they have just spent time looking for.

 ??? ??? ???

I don't quite understand what you're asking for?

Looking at some of your 218 posts you obviously know how to create post on other boards so why not the Rutland one?

I meant I don't know how to link from this post to a new one on a different board.

Look up at the top of your screen, just above where it shows the RootsChat.com logo. You should see the address of this page, it begins http://www.rootschat... ends with the topic number.

Select all of it and copy (ctrl c). Go to the Rutland look-up requests board, open an new topic, hit return a couple of times to give yourself some space and then paste (ctrl v). This should put the web address of this post into your new post as a link, then people can quickly get here to see what you already know.
