Hi, it's a fishing expedition here!
I have an Esther Sayce/Sayse marrying a Timothy Hughs/Hughes in 1816 in Lyonshall.
She remarries a Pritchard after being widowed, but it's the Hughes line I'm descended from, so I have little info on Pritchard.
I was wondering if anyone might have come across Esther in their research at all - I have no other information to hand at the moment as I am in work sorry, but if I didn't post this now, I'd forget to do it later ;D

She remarries a Pritchard after being widowed,
When was she widowed and where and when did she re-marry to Pritchard? What is his first name?
Is this the marriage?

Can you clarify - are you researching Timothy or the second husband?

There is a burial for a 27yr old Timothy Hughes on 29.7.
1921 1821 at St Peter Peterchurch - is this your Timothy?
Is this Esther

Thank you carole, that appears to be them.
yes it's Timothy and Esther's lines I'm interested in, but its a bit of a trek to hereford to check records unfortunately.
the burial in 1921 is about 100 years too late sorry!

Sorry - typo - should be 1821
The FS link for Esther is shown in my reply above. No info for Timothy on FS

That could well be him then, probably about the right age.
do you know if there are many graveyards in peterchurch by any chance? Thank you

Hi, don't know if you're still searching but my GG Grandfather was William Ephraim Sayce, or Ephraim William. Either way he was known in our family as Ephie. He was born in Abbeydore, Herefordshire in 1862. He married Susannah May from Stroud, in Birmingham in 1884.
Their daughter, Minnie Emma Sayce was born there in that year. For reasons best be-known to them, they moved to Derby and had a second child William Henry Sayce in 1887.
Minnie married Frank Topley in 1903 and had four children, my Grandmother Edith May (Maggie), Mary Ellen, Frank and Eric. Maggie married an Irishman from Cork, Edward Doherty and I can't even begin to search for that line yet!
Equally, I have not researched their son William Henry Sayce.
I am concentrating on my mother's line. She is one of 16 siblings and it is quite a challenge with the root name of Mee!
Sorry I can't be more help.

Sorry for the late reply - years of ill health have taken me away from this, and I have typically lost all my on-line tree, so am currently re-entering everything (as of last night).
Do you have a link to my Esther? I'm sure I've seen Abbeydore at some point in my records. I suspect there could be a family link somewhere
-
Sorry to hear about your I’ll health, been there myself!
I’ve not been able to do anymore on the Sayce line as the Mee Bishop tree on my mums side is taking all my energy and time. Drawing blanks, I’m afraid.
Good luck with your searching.

No problem - thanks for the reply
