Hello - I am from "Down Under" (Oz) and am hoping someone in the Hertfordshire area may be willing and able to find a little bit of information for me.......
MARRIAGE FOR: BRAHAM, William and wife (name not known) pre 1827
BIRTHS/BAPTISMS: Possible children prior to 1827 when I believe the wife died as there is a MARRIAGE for him as a widower to Sarah KNIGHT in Berden, Essex.
DEATH: BRAHAM, wife prior to 1827
BIRTHS/BAPTISMS: Possible children to William and Sarah 1820/27
Further details to help in the search follow -
I have been told of a family line - KNIGHT, William and wife Ann nee RAND. William married Anne RAND on 15 Aug 1799.
This family is from Berden, Essex.
Amongst their children was Sarah KNIGHT b. 1810, Berden, Essex.
She married William BRAHAM, From:Stocking Pelham, Date:26 Oct 1827, Notes: Banns He Is Widower
NOTE: he was a widower.
.....................................
A very helpful lady from the Essex area has found no children for William and Sarah, and has suggested that I check inyour area as William was from Stocking Pelham, Hertfordshire.
.....................................
Therefore what I would love to find is -
a) details on any marriage for William BRAHAM prior to his marriage to Sarah KNIGHT in 1827 in Essex.
b) details of any children born to William and first wife (name not known) prior to 1827.
c) details of a death for William's first wife (prior to 1827)
d) details of any children born to William and Sarah.
If this Sarah is actually the Sarah in my family line, then she and William are said to have had daughters Sarah and Rebecca, born approx. 1820 - 1825.
I have always thought our Sarah would have been too young to fit in with being the mother of Sarah and Rebecca, and maybe if someone can find these (or any) births, my questions may be answered.........
Looking forward hopefully to someone having the time and being willing to do this look-up for me.
