Hi

I am looking for Sarah Brush born c1837 Southwark or Pimlico area.

In 1841 I have Sarah living with her father Samuel bn c1811 Stanmore Middlesex and her mother Mary.

I cannot find her or her father Samuel in 1851 or 1861 but she is living with her father in Croydon in 1871.

Thanks Rosie

If this is your family, I can find sisters Emma and mary in 1851 (will post full details if you require them)-but not Sarah and Samuel

Thank you very much Suz for the information on Mary and Emma in 1851, a great help -perhaps they will eventually lead me to Sarah.

I have looked for harriet/Sarah/John/samuel in 51/61 even using a first name search only -and haven't found anything
There is a possible marriage for harriet in 1862
And a possiblity of John in 1871
But 51/61 they must be hiding away somewhere???

Thank you very much,

I have also tried all the tricks on the 1851/61 some time ago with no success so glad it's not just me, though was hoping fresh eyes would find it. Yes it is Harriet's marriage to John Burrows in 1862. I hadn't looked at Johns marriage so will follow that one up.

I think it is this Sarah Brush 'married' to Henry Knighton on the 1861 but as I cannot find a marriage for her and she vanishes by 1871 and there is no marriage I am just guessing. That is why I was trying to find Sarah dtr of Samuel at the same time as Sarah married to Henry then I could have eliminated her. I think I will have to try and locate a death for her after 1901 and see if it gives any clues.

Thanks again

Rosie
