Title: John & Sarah Tyler - Great Dunmow - b.c. 1795 - any help would be appreciated!
Post by: Emsworthy on Sunday 08 October 17 19:36 BST (UK)
Hi all,

I have a direct link to the Tyler line of Great Dunmow via Mary Tyler b.1818.  I have one sibling for her - Sarah Tyler b.1820.  Parents for the girls were John and Sarah Tyler, according to baptism records.  I haven't been able to find any further baptisms to a John and Sarah, nor a marriage for them. 

If daughter Mary was the eldest, I'd assume that John and Sarah were born around 1795.

Any help would be gratefully received!

Many thanks,

Emma


[Edit]

I can find this family in 1841, but with Mary as 'wife', rather than Sarah.  Is there any record of Sarah passing away and John remarrying?

Star Lane, Great Dunmow

John Tyler, 50, Shoe M, Y
Mary Tyler, 50, Y
Sarah Tyler, 20, Y
Peter Tyler, 10, Y
Ann Tyler, 15, Y
Isaac Tyler, 5, Y

I couldn't find a marriage for John, to either Mary or Sarah, in Gt Dunmow or in various surrounding parishes.

Looking at the baptisms and burials in Gt Dunmow I think that Sarah and Mary may be the same person, as there's an earlier baptism for parents John & Mary and there's no burial for a Sarah.

Assuming that it's the same John and Mary in 1861, as per 1841 at Star Lane, Mary's birth is c1788 Henham. Looking through the Henham baptisms there are few a possible matches, so no obvious leads. I couldn't find a marriage in Henham.

Thank you so much for posting all this information. I had wondered if Mary/Sarah were one and the same. Guess there's no real way of knowing...hopefully something may come to light further down the line.

I wonder where they married. Such a nightmare of a name, too - I've seen it transcribed as Tyler/Tiler/Tayler so far...

Thanks again - will have a more lengthy look tomorrow.

Regards, Emma
