Sarah May Coldham..Born London 1877?
« on: Monday 10 April 17 23:44 BST (UK) »
Hello:

I would very much appreciate help in locating a Sarah May Coldham, born London 1877. I found her on a 1901 Canada census, listed as a Sarah Stoneham. The census gives a birthdate as 28 June 1877 however I am unable to locate any index for 1877 with a Sarah Coldham, born London. I did locate a Amy Sarah Coldham, born London 1874. Also, on the 1901 Canada census she gives 1884 as the year of immigration to Canada. The passenger records available on Ancestry begin in 1890, so if anyone could suggest an additional record that would be of help.

Thank you for all your suggestions.

Her 1911 census details are consistent with those of 1901.

I did notice that on the marriage registration in 1898 that she put her age as 23 giving a birth year of 1874/75.

I also notice that the two older children were born before the marriage.

However, I can't find a birth for a Sarah Coldham mother Ferguson, or Sarah Coldham with no mother, or Sarah Ferguson with no mother anywhere between 1866 and 1886.

Amy Sarah Coldham born 1874 St Pancras mother's maiden name Williams

What was her father's occupation, so far no baptism or registration, no marriage between Coldham and Ferguson either

Possible baptism?
22 July 1850, St Andrew Holborn
Elizabeth
parents James + Emma Ferguson
14 Dorrington St Brooks Market
father a Compositor
born 7 Sep 1842

also there, James Alexander Ferguson, 27 July 1846, born 4 Feb 1838
(no more details)

In Holborn in 1851. Piece 1514 folio 285 page 57
14 Dorrington St
Emma Ferguson Head Widow 36 Charwoman
James Ferguson Son 13
John Ferguson Son 11
Elizabeth Ferguson Son! 9
all born Middlesex St Andrews

Birth registrations show mother's maiden surname as Green
So, James Ferguson + Emma Green, 1 May 1837, St Giles in the Fields
Of course, whether this is the right Elizabeth remains to be seen.
