Thomas BOWEN 1782

[ruthvirr]

Hi..

I am confused re my 4th G Grandfather THOMAS BOWEN 1782 - 1861 Born in Bromyard, Herefordshire. I have found a  marriage to SARAH DERRY 1778 - on 13th June 1814. This same Sarah is documented on the census for 1841 as Thomas Bowen's wife.

However, in the 1851 census, Sarah's birth year is given as 1818  There is a 10 month old infant listed on this census.

I assume that Sarah DERRY passed away between the census years and Thomas remarried. I have found a marriage for Thomas and SARAH BAKER 12th Feb 1850.

My problem is that I cannot find a death for Sarah DERRY! 

Thank you in anticipation!!

Ruth

Hi,

In case you haven't found her yet, I think this is Sarah in 1851, transcribed at Ancestry as BAWIEC

Oh many thanks Daisy... I'll give her a look

Still confused...

I note that Thomas married Sarah DERRY in 1814: however I believe that this may have his second marriage as I have 4 daughters whose births are registered from 1805 to 1809 respectively...

CHARLOTTE 1805 - 1810
SARAH 1806 -
MARY ANNE 1808 -
SUSANNAH 1809 -
CHARLOTTE 1811 - 1872

The later 4 children are registered from 1816 to 1824 

Can you see why I'm thinking that this may be from a second marriage...unless the 4 older children were born out of wedlock..    

[Daisypetal]

I wonder which Sarah this child belongs to?


Thomas BOWEN
Baptism Date:  17 Feb 1814
Bromyard
Father:  Thomas BOWEN   
Mother:  Sarah 

It could be the first Sarah's, then she died and he had a quick marriage on 14th June 1814 to Sarah DERRY? or Thomas was only marries to one Sarah in an earlier marriage yet to be found


If this the 1814 marriage that you refer to, are you sure that he is 'your' Thomas?

13 Jun 1814
Tarrington  Herefordshire 
Thomas BOWEN
Sarah DERRY
 


I ask because on the 1851 census I can see this different couple,

1851  HO107/1982  f.13  p.18  Wigmore  Herefordshire
Wigmore Village

BOWEN
Thomas    Head    59    Farmer 266 acres employing 1? Lab    Shropshire Ludlow

Susan BLUCK        Serv    26    House Serv          Shropshire  Bishops Castle     
James WILLIAMS  Serv    20    Farm Lab              Herefordshire Aymestrey?

 
Stoke Lacy is only about 9 miles from Tarrington, and Linton is only about 13 miles away, so which couple belongs to this marriage

[ruthvirr]

Hi...

Yes this is the marriage that I refer to in Tarrington in 1814. I still have not found another marriage for Thomas. So I will have a peek at this other family. Everyone on Ancestry seems to follow the same line, however, I have been caught out like that before!!!
