Cheshire / Heaps Of Stockport
« on: Tuesday 18 February 14 01:31 GMT (UK) »
Hello,
My 2nd Great Grandmother Sarah Ann Heaps was born around 1865 in Stockport. Her father is listed on her marriage certificate as Alfred Heaps.
In the 1911 census she is living with her husband Thomas Chappell and their two children, Elizabeth (my Great Grandmother) and Alfred. In the Census it claims that they have been married for 16 years. the marriage certificate is from 1906 so that would mean they had only been married 5 years.
I would love to find out more about Sarah Ann and her son Alfred. Alfred was a witness on my G Grandmother Elizabeth's Marriage certificate but I cannot find anything else out about him and I am unsure where to look. Also I would like to be able to trace the Heaps back and find out more about them but again I am unsure how to proceed.
I originally hit a brick wall with this side of my family as I assumed for a long time that my 2nd G Grandmother was called Sarah Ann Skerrat. This turned out to be Thomas Chappells first wife and as far as I can make out she is not the Mother of either of the children I went round in circles for months and eventually discovered a birth certificate for my G Grandmother Elizabeth under the name of Heaps.
