Illegitimate Child Help
« on: Friday 08 March 19 23:09 GMT (UK) »
Hello!

Sarah Potter b. 1817 married Isaac Ryther in Liverpool 1844.

In 1851 Isaac and Sarah are living in Toxteth Park where Isaac has a step daughter named Mary Buckley who was born 1842 in Garston.

Sarah wasn't married before so i am guessing Mary is her illegitimate child but Mary was born and baptised Mary Potter so do you think maybe they knew the father (Mr Buckley) but he maybe wasn't prepared to accept his daughter? or was already married so she legally was named Potter?

What would your thoughts be on this?

and could anyone help me find out what happened to her?

I have her in 1851 (as above) and in Warrington, Lancashire in 1861 working as a Domestic Servant.

Sarah BUCKLEY married Isaac Rither in 1844 - not Sarah Potter

www.lancashirebmd.org.uk shows previous surname Potter so Sarah much have married before 1844
