William as a child here in 1851

Piece number 1764 Folio 72 Page 29

I think his mother was Anne Powers there is a marriage in Wilburton in 1839

added
His father was Briggs Savidge

Freebmd have a marriage entry in Havant in 1862 which includes the names William Savage and Sarah Savage.
Isobel

Sarah could still be William's cousin though - related via William's mother. Maybe it was a family story that cousins had married and it was assumed that the surnames were the same.

Sorry, yes, I did mean cousin. There are rather a lot of William and Sarah Savidge's in this family it gets a little confusing with all the name recycling.

[EmmaPettit]

Please can you give us their birthdates?

Has Sarah's maiden name been confirmed from a child's birth certificate?

So Sorry, I should have put that in my original post. Sarah Savidge was born 1838 to John and Mary Ann Lucas in Cottenham.

William Savidge was born 1844 to William and Ann in Wilburton.

And no, I have not got the certificate yet, it's been ordered and is coming from the UK to Aus.
But from all the census information and the people who lived with her throughout them it is the Sarah i'm after.

But didn't you say the Sarah you're looking for was the sister of the William who married Sarah Ann Bennerson?
William and SAB's marriage on Freereg, his father was also called William and he was under 21 at marriage. Likely to be the William who was bapt in 1841 Cottenham s/o William and Ann. Likely to be William and Ann nee Pauley married at Histon 1839
(Very confusing with William from Wilburton marrying an Ann Powers in same year)
Ann nee Pauley died and William married Ann Stallion nee Leader (a widow with at least two children).

I did say sister but I shouldn't have. They are cousins. Their fathers are brothers, hence the same last names.


And yes, that William listed above son of William Savidge and Ann Pauley and step son of Ann Stallion/Leader is the cousin.

There are a lot of Sarah and Williams in the Savidge family and I was trying to follow other family members when I asked for help due to frustration and there for mixed up the original relationship. Both the William/Sarah cousins relationships are very similar and dates and locations. I was trying to steer people away from that couple so there would be less confusion and I fear in doing so have actually caused more

[EmmaPettit]

Just realised you are saying she was a Savidge too but you must be mistaken.

The William who married Sarah Bennerton was bc.1841 Cottenham son of William and Ann - whilst he did have a sister Sarah she wasn't born until ca.1856!!

Don't know why you thought the Sarah who married William Savidge born Wilburton was also a Savidge - she is clearly Sarah Rowell.

The reason I believe it not to be a mistake is the people she has stay with her through the census years.
Joseph Crane
Anne Stearn
Both relatives on her side married into the family.
I have been able to find no other leads as to what happened to her. So i'm investigating this one. it's not the first time relatives have married. So it is feasible.

Sarah Savidge was born 1838 to John and Mary Ann Lucas in Cottenham.

That Sarah might possibly be a servant in Hackney in 1861 and 1871?
In the census indexes is
1861 Sarah Sewadge, 22, born Cottenham
1871 Sarah Lavidge, 33, born Cottenham

[LizzieL]

1851 census Sarah age 13 and older brother Lucas with father John poultry man and Elizabeth his wife. Elizabeth must be John's second wife, because Lucas is definitely John and Mary Ann nee Lucas's son.  Burial of Mary Ann Savidge 48 in Cottenham 26 Dec 1848.
Sarah was baptised at age 15 in Cottenham 5 May 1853, father John (poulterer) and Mary.
