Mary Boswell b1820 in Olney, Bucks.
« on: Wednesday 30 May 18 20:01 BST (UK) »
Hi,

I am currently searching for information regarding Sarah Boswell who was born in 1820 in Olney, bucks. Sarah married Henry Wesley, a brick maker from Newport Pagnell around 1840-1850. I’m interested in finding out her parents, and also any information about her husband Henry, as it seems he May have been illegitimate, and the surname may originally have been worsley. Any info much appreciated!

Are we looking for Sarah or Mary? The thread title says one name, the body the other?

I'm guessing it's Mary, given here's a marriage registration in the Newport Pagnell area Q4 1847 (Vol 6 p741) which includes Henry Wesley and Mary Boswell

There's a candidate for Mary in Olney on the 1841 census with a Sarah Boswell aged 45-49

Censuses suggest Henry was born in Haversham
