Greenop Family

[wozzle]

there is a marrage between a richard wood/sarah greenop as i have already pointed out
name ; richard wood
y.o.r. 1872
qtr. jan/feb/mar.
dist. penrith
county. cumbria,cumberland
vol; 10b
page; 577
the only other name on this page is sarah greenop.
on the 1871 census there are 5 sarah greenops living in cumberland
4 of these are in the penrith area
1 was born 1868 so not her
1 was born 1817 and is married so probably not her
1 is born 1841 unmarried with a child so possibly her.
1 is born 1854 and is a servant and is unmarried possibly her
the 2 probables were both born in renwick,cumberland
so if your sarah was born in langdale then it now looks as if she did'nt marry richard wood in 1872
but did indeed marry valentine brownlee in 1879.

if you agree that your sarah married valentine and want me to follow this sarah through the censuses then i will look for you.
i have found her parents in 1871 still in langdale and they have a son robert aged 4 born in lancashire with them which would tie in with the sighting in 1881 of valentine/sarah brownlee
with a robert greenop brother in law.
if you want the parents census entry for 1871 then i will post it here

hope you can follow this.

also had a look for your richard wood in the censuses
1851 in martindale with parents joseph/ann
1861 working in penrith as a servant
1871 cannot see him
1881 in preston he is widowed
so the sarah greenop he married died between 1872-1881
there is a death of a sarah wood in 1875 in penrith her birth date is down as about 1840
so that makes it a possibility that richard wood married the sarah greenop who was the unmarried mother with child in 1871.
of couirse this is mainly an educated guess you would need certs to substantiate this
here is more info that adds creedence to this theory
the child who was with sarah greenop in 1871 is with grandparents in 1881
could be there because of death of mother

so we now have this;
the sarah greenop who married richard wood in 1872 was born in renwick cumberland abt.1840
the sarah greenop who married valentine brownlee was born in langdale in 1850

Hi Bullamore.

I'm a relative of Sarah Greenop born 23 March 1850 in Langdale, Westmoreland.  She was the daughter of John Greenop and his wife Mary (nee Kirkby).  I tried to attach a photo of Sarah but this bulletin board refused to do it. I'm descended from Sarah's older sister, Margaret Greenop.
