Please can you help me untangle a family. I have a theory that there was a marriage between first cousins, but first I need to confirm that I have the correct people.
The three bits of info I need are:
1.
Sarah WARD bpt 9 oct
1806 Loughborough & Mountsorrel presbyterian.
(need to confirm her parents - I am hoping they are Thomas WARD and Sarah GOODRICH of Sileby or nearby)
2.
William James WARD b. 1808 Sileby poss baptised at Loughborough and Mountsorrel Presbyterian (I am hoping he will have the same parents as the Sarah above).
3.
Thomas WARD and Sarah GOODRICH marriage 11 dec
1804 Rothley?
If my theory is correct Thomas Ward and Sarah Goodrich both had siblings who married each other and had a son who married Sarah Ward - his cousin (child of the above Thomas and Sarah).
The info I have supplied is from the igi via the internet but hopefully more info is available from other records.
I am also basing my theory on info from two wills and the census.
Thomas Ward may have been married before so its possible Sarah Goodrich may not be the mother of one or both of these children.
The areas the Ward and Goodrich families were living in at the time are: Sileby, Wigston, Thornton...
It would be fantastic if someone could help me with this as this family have been confusing me for years and this is the best (only) explanation I have been able to come up with.
