Hi,
Thomas Lynch married Sarah Anne Dibley in 1862 (marriage registered in Andover Hampshire in the September Q).
I would like to know who Sarah's father was without having to order the marriage certificate.
Please can anyone help?

Hi Chris,
Any idea of their ages? Have you found them in any census?

Yes, they were in Newbury Berkshire in 1871. As far as I can tell they had 3 children, Emma born in 1863 in Newbury, Henry born in 1866 in Islington and Anna Maria born 1868 in Newbury, died the same year. Emma's birth was recorded with the surname Paice. Thomas Lynch born 1817 was the illegitimate son of Maria Paice also known as Maria Paice Lynch (Lynch was her stepfather's surname). Thomas used both surnames at different times during his life. Sarah was born c1832 in Newbury.
I suspect her father was John Dibley the neighbour of Thomas Lynch and Maria and Edward Golding (Thomas' mother and stepfather) in the 1861 census.

Might be Sarah in 1851, father Samuel
Piece number 1685, Folio 377, Page 28, Schedule 78
or in 1841,
Piece number 33, Book 4, Folio 20, Page 35

There's a marriage between a John Dibley and a Winifred Gough in Newbury on 28 May 1826. That might be the Winifred on 1841 census.
-
1851 indexed as John & Winney Debley - no Sarah
Winifred died 1860
-
John and Samuel might be brothers, two likely baptisms Samuel 1796 and John 1800 in Newbury sons of Charles and Elizabeth
-
Thanks Lizzie, That's who I suspect her parents are. I just need to verify that her father was John and not Samuel as there are two Sarah Dibleys born c1832-1837 in Newbury.
-
Unfortunately there are no marriage details online which is a bind as it means you'll need to buy the cert to confirm
-
I think the 1837 Sarah married William Griffin in 1856
1861
Piece number 720, Folio 130, Page 9
