Would appreciate any help on Sarah Bridge - all I have is details from gravestone -in Risby Churchyard
i.e. Sarah wife of Charles Bridge died Sept 13th 1893 age 75
I have found Charles and Sarah living in Risby, Suffolk on census.
What I am hoping to get some help on is just Sarah - her maiden name and family.
Many thanks

Charles Bridge Q4 1842
Thingoe, Suffolk
married Sarah Vale or Sarah Tweed or Mary Ann Sharpe
two Sarahs unfortunately
-
Have you found the marriage of a Charles and Sarah? If not, there is an 1842 Marriage with a Charles Bridge and a couple of Sarah’s on the same page which might be worth looking into. Reg district is Thingoe which includes Risby.
Added: pipped at the post by Alan, but will post anyway.

1841 census
Risby
Charles Bridge 20 living with what looks like parents
next door, Sarah Vale, 20 living in house of William Hall, shoemaker and family
I think that’s what’s called circumstantial evidence.
-
I was just about to post about Sarah Vale, but hadn’t noticed the neighbour. Looks pretty likely doesn’t it? Unfortunately not with parents.
Speculating that the OP has already discovered this, hence the question about parents.
I recommend buying the marriage certificate yekepa.

Sarah Bridge has West Stow as birthplace on later censuses
thus possible baptism for Sarah Vale
10 May 1818, West Stow
parents John Vale and Sarah

John Vale married Sarah Collins, West Stow 31 October 1809
(Suffolk Marriage Index)

Thank you everyone -
I think I will pursue "Vale" further looks the most likely
-
There is a baptism for a Sarah Vale on freereg.
1818 in West Stow.
Father John a labourer and mother Sarah.
I don’t know if dates and places tally but it’s the only likely one on freereg, though not all areas are covered.

Thank you - would you believe that you have actually given me someone I was also looking for i.e.Hall Shoemaker.

Is Sarah related to the Halls?
The West Stow Vale family appear in the 1841 at Upper House, West Stow. John, 54, ag lab. Wife Sarah, 56, and several children. I’m not sure how you would confirm if these are your Sarah’s family. She is a fair way from home, but if the Halls are related that may explain it.
Added: apologies Alan, I seem to be a couple of steps behind you. Rereading the thread I missed your reply at #5 and posted the same information. My excuse …. I was multitasking last night and missed a couple of posts. Sorry for doubling up. :)
