Looking for info on Sarah Piercey, who married Joseph Coster in Paddington 19 Nov !815, died Marylebone 9/1841. Who were her parents, siblings etc & where was she from?
-
I'm only posting this as background, as it covers the questions I was asking myself as I had a look for Sarah for you:
DEATH: Sarah COSTER, death registered Marylebone Sep Qtr 1841 - age 45.
Buried 26 Sep Marylebone, age 45
CENSUS 1841: Census agrees, Sarah Coster age 43 or 45 with Joseph 44
Neither born in County.
Children: Elizabeth 20, Eliza 15, Thomas 13, George 7, Martha 3 all born in County.
There is also a Tho's LANGLEY age 30 in the household, Not born in County.
HO107 - Piece 677/Book 2 / Folio 52/ Pg8
Indicates a year of birth about 1796-98 for Sarah PIERCEY, not in Middlesex
CENSUS 1851: the children Eliza 25, Thomas 23, George 18, Martha 13 are all with their sister Elizabeth who is now married to John Cooper, with 3 children, ( was hoping the youngers might have been with identifiable maternal PIERCEY related family - but wasn't to be)
HO107 - Piece 1490 / Folio 103 / Pg14
DEATH 1849: Other posts indicate Joseph COSTER died 1849, from Cholera (and that he had remarried Hanna Wheeler, nee Constable in 1846, after Sarah died).
THE CHILDREN: Couldn't see any PIERCEY witness names on any of the 4 London marriages found for 4 of the 5 children:
Elizabeth married John COOPER 1842
Eliza 'married' Charles CLARK, circa 1853 when first child born?)*
Thomas married Elizabeth WEST 1857 (Elizabeth Cooper, witness)
George married Mary Ann HARMER 1861.
Martha married William HAWKES in 1857

Thanks Ambly. Charles Clark & Eliza married Sept Q 1851 at Kensington. I have Joseph's death cert and as you say he died of cholera. George Coster was my GGF. Thanks for the link, I hasd posted on there years ago, Pyramus showed up on several boards but stopped posting or replying to anything a long time ago. The mystery of where Sarah came from (and Joseph too for that matter) goes on.

(and that he had remarried Hanna Wheeler, nee Constable in 1846, after Sarah died).
This marriage ** might name a father for Joseph to trace back his origins but won't help with Sarah :-\
** Can't see a marriage in 1846

Marriages Jun qtr 1846

Hi Rosie, I reckoned that too, especially as they are both listed as widowed

Dug up a bit more on the elusive Pierceys, possible birth for Sarah June 10 1795 and parents William & Elizabeth bapt Old Chuch St Pancras 29 June. Can anyone add to this?
