THURSTON baptism, Sutton, Isle of Ely

[aakarlhamo]

Hi

I am trying to find the the parents' names and father's profession my elusive 3xgt grandmother who on her 1887 death certificate is called:

Anne Maria Bush Thurston
born abt 1802
Sutton, Isle of Ely

However, on the Pallots marriage her name is Maria Thurston and in all the census I have found she continued to call herself Maria.  I am missing  the 1841 and 1871 census.

She married John Serjeant in 1829, St Benedicts, Cambridge  and the lived in Harlton until their deaths. He was a butcher.

I am really keen to find out about her family, where they came from and what they did if anyone can help  as I have not been able to come up with anything??? 
Also Bush is such a random name, I wonder if it was the maiden name of her mother?

Thanks
Carole

if you provide the census which you DO have, then we can search for the missing ones.
RG Reference.
Details of all in household.

Hello Pauline

The census that I have for John and Maria Serjeant nee Thurston are:

1851 HO107 1759
1861 RG9 1022
1881 RG11 1662

So I am missing 1841 and 1871.

John died in 1880 and Maria in 1887.

Thanks
Carole

That's not a reference, it's justa piece number.
You put a piece number in and 5,000 or so names crop up.

provide the transcription for us to work on. Surely it isn't too much to provide.

[aakarlhamo]

I'm really sorry Pauline I thought that was the number you wanted 
I have never worked out were people get the reference numbers from for the census.
Tell me where to find the right nos you want on the census and I will get it for you.

Again very sorry.

Can't find a Thurston baptism in Sutton around 1802 but the the name does appear in the parish records- mainly before 1800.

There may be a clue in the names of the witnesses at the 1829 marriage of Maria Thurston and John Serjeant.

Witnesses were:  Thomas Thurston and Anna Maria Bush

Thanks for looking in the Parish records and that is strange because she consistently gave her birth place as Sutton with a date of around 1801/2 unless, of course, she didn't get baptised or maybe they moved around!

By any chance is there another record with the mother's name of Anna Maria and father Thomas Thurston?

Thanks again
