This is another one that's puzzling me;ive only noticed it thanks to the new GRO birth search.
1861
James Coppins b1828 Faversham
FRANCES b1833 Milstead
Sarah A b1856 Sittingbourne
Julia b1858
Stephen b1860
1871
James
FRANCES b1834 Sittingbourne.
Alfred b1863 Faversham
Arthur b1865
Edwin b1868
James Coppins marries Frances Saywell O/N/D 1863 Faversham
I had initially thought that Frances was the Frances Saywell on 1851 b1833 Rodmersham,son of Richard and Sarah.When I added this a few years back,the late marriage and pre marriage births didn't occur to me.
Today ive been looking for more children on the GRO register and ive noticed that Sarah Ann born Sept quart 1856 Milto is registered as Saywell mmn Furrell,as is Julia Mary b Sept quart 1858.There is also an earlier birth for Stephen John Saywell March quart 1853 Faversham mmn Ferrell.His death registered 1854 Faversham.
The other pre marriage child Stephen b1860 is registered as Coppen mmn Saywell.
So I'm now assuming she was Frances Ferrell/Furrell who was previously married to a Saywell.
The only marriage I can find is a Hannah Ferrell to a John Bennett Saywell O/N/D 1847 Milton,which would make her very young,and the names different.
There is also a marriage o/n/d 1847 Milton Frances Saywell/William Kitchingham,which could be significant.
Please can anyone help me find Frances and tell me who her first husband was.
Thanks.
