Sarah Jane Haughton Roscath
« on: Sunday 16 March 14 03:45 GMT (UK) »
Hi, I had posted this under a different thread, but think now it might be better to start a fresh post.
I am looking for anyone who has connections with, or information on, a Sarah Jane Haughton of Roscath Co Wicklow, born about 1875. In 1891 her mother, Sarah Haughton of the same address was described as a Widow and a farmer. They family were prodestant.

Thanks very much Haywood for that link.
It is actually the reference there to the prison record in 1891 that I am researching. It appears Sarah Jane  ran away to get married with a young man  named John Doyle of Aghowle, who was working for her mother. She was underage, and John gave himself up to the police the next day. Sarah Jane was sent off to safety in England. I have been able to follow-up on what happened to John, but would like to know if Sarah Jane returned to Wicklow and if she married someone else.

I thought that would be the case re 1891.

I think this is the family in 1911 although the age is out slightly http://www.census.nationalarchives.ie/pages/1911/Wicklow/Arklow_Rural/Mooreshill/894170/

She is not with her uncle in 1901 http://www.census.nationalarchives.ie/pages/1901/Wicklow/Arklow_Rural/Mooreshill/1813127/

Thanks, that's great,yes that would seem to be Sarah Jane and her mother and sisters in 1911, re age I have found that unmarried women seemed to underestimate their ages in the census.

That at least tells me she has not married before 1911, I have seen a death record on familysearch for a Sarah Jane Haughton in the Rathdrum district in the 1950s which might be her if she remained single, so will follow up on that.
 Did not see her or her mother in the 1901 census, perhaps they are in England, as the newspaper article in 1891 said she had been given into the service and care of some Reverend in England!

I see from Calendar of wills that their parents had a very short marriage with John Haughton dying in April 1878 ,Sarah Jane would have been 3 and a half.

Sorry i have a suspicious mind.
The Englsh 1891 census has a Sarah Haughton with the ridiculous age of 999 in an institution in Prestwich,Lancashire the date from wikipedia for this census is 5th April 1891 is this date prior to or after the abduction.
I wonder did she get pregnant,seems an awful lot of trouble to go to whisking her off to England when they  could possibly have sent her to relatives.
Have you got the full name of the Reverand that she was supposedly sent to maybe we could find him on the census.
