Thankyou for your reply, I know his parents were William and Sally, because his son's Edward also, and William were sent to their grandparents in Australia when Edward and his wife Harriott died in 1847. I tried to get a birth certificate through GRO for him but the date we have is wrong,and they couldnt find any record,came across another Edward different date but he was married to a Emma Ox, in the the family bible he is married to Harriot, they lived in Kent, I have all details of him and there, in Workhouse in Tenterden, and also 1851 census for his sons William and Edward who migrated in 1855, I think he was born in a different place to his brother's and sister's, his father married twice.
When William and Sally migrated in 1839 Aaron,David, Margaret were also on the ship with them, I assumed they were their children also. I now think they were relatives of William and Sally. This Edward 1847 has got me stumped I have been trying to find him for 10yrs, all I have is his burial.
As I said before - you would be better replying on the topic, just click the reply button at the bottom, rather than sending information to me by pm - so I have posted it here.
So, your family had left the UK before the 1841 census? I am not sure whose birth you tried to find a certificate for. GRO records do not start until 1837. Anything prior to that has to be be from parish records. Did you mean Death? UK death certificates do not give much information on them. Edward Manser's death is registered in the Dec quarter 1847 in Hailsham ref 7 269
If they lived in Kent why do you think this is his death? Sorry to keep asking questions but you obviously know a lot about the family and we are still a bit in the dark! The more you give us the more we can help. Your initial query was for an 1851 census for a Sarah so I assumed it was a Sussex family you were chasing. Can you give us a brief list of the information you have from the family bible? They are a wonderful source to have.
I will look further later to see what I can pick up but more definite details would help.
