In 1857 in St Helier. I have found a Sarah Littlejohns marrying Moses Hayball
According to the marriage she was born around 1822 in Plymouth and father is Edward Littlejohns supposedly a confectioner.
I can’t find a baptism for Sarah or find her father in any records.
However there is my ancestors Edward Littlejohns who married Sarah Eddy in 1817 in stoke dameral. He appears to be the only Edward of right age to father Sarah in 1822 in Plymouth. However his occupation is a carpenter/builder. This Edward died in 1828 in Plymouth.
To confuse things however. Edward was previously married to a Temperance Dodge. Their daughter Sarah Temperance Littlejohns born 1805 also ends up in St Helier with husband Robert Quarm. Her occupation was a confectioner.
Another child Edwin Littlejohns born 1828 (my 3x great grandfather) also ends up in St Helier where he marries my 3x great grandmother Jane Bennett. They then end up in London in 1851.
I am wondering if this Sarah Littlejohns born 1822 may actually be a child of Edward Littlejohns and Sarah Eddy, maybe she just gave the occupation of her half sister for the marriage when asked what occupation her father had?
I just can’t find any baptism of this Sarah to confirm my theory. What do you think?
can anyone help me find out what happened to her? I can’t locate her on any census records and I also can’t find any death record.
