I have found two women whose parents have the same names who appear to have been born on the same day who married men of the same name on the same day 80 off miles apart.
Two Sarah Hornblows who both had parents named John & Elizabeth appear to have been born around the same time, married men called George Moore on the same day one in Piccadily Westminster the other in Colchester .
My interest is in Sarah Hornblow daughter of Rev. John Hornblow and his wife Elizabeth Young. He was born in Essex sent to London as an apprentice. Once he became a master looking glass frame maker he stayed in london for 19 years in Cripplegate area where he became a baptist. In 1775 he married into a baptist family, the Youngs a dissident family of cabinet makers, before becoming ordained as a Particular baptist and being sent back to Essex, Braintree in 1779.
The other family were in Piccadilly Westminster where John Hornblow was a coal dealer who in 1780 married to Elizabeth Archer .
Both couples had daughters they called Sarah born, it seems in the same year , who subsequently married George Moore. One in St Martins in Field London the other in Colchester in Essex on 17 June 1810.
To add to this when Elizabeth Young Hornblow died she was living in Kentish town but she was buried in the St James Piccadilly where the Hornblow+ Archers family had their children baptised.
Does anyone else think that they must have know each other??
