Can anyone help? John Webb and Sarah Burton

[MrsD16]

Hi I was wondering if anyone can help me locate what happened next to 2 of my ancestors?

John Webb was born approx 1791 I believe in Reading Berkshire but have no trace of him I believe he must have died before official records began but can't find him and am not near Berkshire to search their family record center

I found a record showing he married Sarah Burton 29 May 1819 but no other details

I have found they had 4 children (that I know off) : James (my link) b.1821, Ann b.1826, Caroline b. 1828, Mary b. 1832

Sarah I have found on the 1841 census and I have a death index for her showing she died 1st quarter 1847 (or possibly late 1846) I will be ordering that soon but I would like if possibly to find where she was buried

If anyone can help I would be very grateful I hope to come to Reading myself at soon point but no idea when I will be able to do that

There are 3 Sarah Webb BMD entries
Deaths Mar 1847
WEBB    Sarah        Henley T    16   78
WEBB    Sarah        Bradfield    6   137
WEBB    Sarah        Reading    6   212
The Henley one died in December 1846 was 9 months old.  She was buried in Sonning.
The Reading one was 84 - a bit too old? Buried at St Laurance, Reading.
Which leaves the Bradfield one, aged 43, unusually young to marry in 1819, buried at Beenham (St Mary) on 7 March 1847.

None of them seem a very good fit.

Thank you the index I believed to be her was the reading one but it didnt state an age so yes that does appear to be the wrong one as she would have been about 56 then

Looks like its back to the drawing board to see where she went after the 1841 census thank you

If John Webb died between 1832 (birth of Mary) and 1841 Sarah may have remarried.

[trish1120]

Ignore that as I see they are together in the 1841 Census.

Will see if I can find anything for you after my booboo

[MrsD16]

Thank you I hadn't thought about remarriage I will look into that

She isn't with john on the 1841 census she is on her own with her 4 children which is why I believe he died before official records started as can't find him anywhere

Just posting that 1841 census:
Living at Holly Court,in St Mary, Reading and all born locally
Sarah Webb   50  ribbon weaver
James Webb   20
Ann Webb      15
Caroline Webb   13
Mary Webb   9

[chempat]

This is a more likely death, if she is somewhere in the 1851 census:
GRO website
Sarah Webb age 65  in 1853 June quarter Reading

or this if she is good at avoiding 2 censuses:
Sarah Webb age 79 in June quarter 1869 Reading.   

And this:
Sarah Webb age 95 in September quarter 1881  Reading   
(Added here: NOT this one, she is from Culham in 1881 census and probably Richard's widow from 1871)

There is a Sarah Webb in 1861 census who is a widow (not wife) age 71 and formerly a weaver with other widows in Reading, St Mary, so that 1869 death?
