Sarah married Edward Bugg in 1867 in Wandsworth but I can not find them on 1871 Census

1881 Sarah is living with her husband in Limehouse, census says born c1848 Middlesex, Baid’s Gar

1891 Sarah is living in Wandsworth , census says born abt 1849 Bayswater, Middlesex, England

Herefordshire Lookup Requests / Can you help me solve this mystery?

« on: Thursday 15 February 07 22:52 GMT (UK) »

I have a rather confusing problem and hope someone could look in Hereford parish records to help me solve it.

I have ancestors Nathaniel Turner and Ann Turner (nee Wilcox) who married in 1755 in Kings Caple.

I have a letter written by Walter Nathaniel Turner in 1860 that states Nathaniel (his grandfather) married Ann daughter of Thomas Wilcox. She died at the age of 34 years leaving six children, namely Ann, Elizabeth, Martha, Nathaniel, Sarah and Robert.

I have a second letter written in 1947 by the Grandaughter of Walter regarding the story of a family scandal told to her by her grandmother, Walters wife. This states that Anne married Nathaniel Turner and had 5 children, then she met up with the duke of norfolk, whom she had know before her marriage and shortly after had a 6th child Robert. She died in child birth leaving a letter to her husband saying this 6th child was not his but the duke of norfolks.

Now this is a fantastic story..that i would love to be true..however i have a problem.

I have looked up the children's baptisms on IGI and found them all to be baptized in Kings Caple, however the dates do not tie in with the story

Ann 1756, Martha 1757, Elizabeth 1760, Nathaniel 1762, Roberson 1764 (this is the year the letter also says he was born) and the Sarah 1767

Now if Ann died in child birth there is no way she could have had Sarah 3 years later !!!!

I am hoping that someone out there may be able to look in Hereford parish records to check for me that Robert(Robertson) & Sarah's dates are correct on IGI, because at the mo, i am very confused and going round in circles.

thanks all
