Sarah Cunningham and family

[Reedy2]

I am trying to find a baptism for Sarah Cunningham about 1847 fathers name Arthur also for her sister Ellen born about 1843.
And a marriage for Ellen about 1873 husbands name Peter Smith.
In 1911 Ellen was living in England and it says she and her husband where born in County Down,
Any help finding any of them would be appreciated.
Kind regards Reedy

Religion?

There are just a few Sarah Cunninghams in that area around that time. Do you have a middle name?

I didn't find a marriage for Ellen Cunningham to Peter Smith anywhere in Ireland for 1870 to 1880.
Nor anywhere in the UK for 1870 to 1875, using the index at freebmd.org.uk.

I didn't find a Peter Smith sharing a household with an Ellen Smith in County Down in 1901. Are they in England in 1901?

And I don't find Sarah or Ellen Cunningham in the Kilkeel Catholic baptism registers anytime in the 1840's.

Hi, this is what i know about Sarah. She marries on the Isle of Man February 14th 1868 to a William Ansell [he is a private 69Regt] in the Parish Church Malew.
On the 23rd March 1871 in the Parish Church Brompton Kent. Sarah Ansell widow marries Spencer Pryer. [private 23 reg Fusiliers]
In 1881 they are living in Wrexham Wales. Sarah dies in 1889 in Stockton on Tees age 41.
They had 3 children one of which was Beatrice Maud Pryer.
In 1891 Beatrice is living with her aunt and uncle Peter Smith and Ellen in Stockton on Tees also in 1901.
In 1911 Peter and Ellen are living with Beatrice and her family in Stockton on Tees.
Thanks again.

I don't see Sarah or Ellen at http://rosdavies.com/ (Ros Davies Co. Down Website). and nothing too promising for Peter Smith/Smyth either.

The churches where Sarah married look like they are Church of England, correct?

I don't know where the Church of Ireland parish registers in Co. Down are, if they are even still around, but that looks to be where you should try.

Hi Thanks for your help.
I have just found a baptism for one of Sarah and Spencer sons.
Joseph Spencer Pryer born 23 Sept 1873 baptised 11 Nov 1873 in Aldershot St Patricks
British Army Forces Roman Catholic Registers.
They also had a son William Arthur born 23 Sept 1872 Meath ireland.
Also a Spencer Murray Pryer born Kildare 1873.
Bit confused about the last one maybe Spencer and Joseph are the same person.
