Burial Lookup request, Sarah Skeets or Skeats died 1841 Finchampstead/Wokingham
« on: Tuesday 12 March 19 16:28 GMT (UK) »
Looking for the gravestone, or burial record for Sarah Skeats or Skeets died 1841 in Finchampstead/Wokingham, Berkshire. Trying to determine if she is the wife/widow of Isaac Skeats.

Also trying to find his death in the 1841-1851 range as he is on 1841 census, but not 1851.

It could be, I just know she's on the 1841 census as Sarah Skeats (Married to Isaac) and disappears after that. I found a Sarah Skeets on the BMD lookup for September Quarter 1841 in the Wokingham district, which might be her. I was hoping the burial index would have more detail, like relatives etc.

He children were George, Elizabeth, Henry and William. He husband (if he was still alive) Isaac.

It would certainly fit with the 1841 entry.  I can't see Isaac either, did the children all stay in the UK after 1851.

Henry and William Skeats are with their Mason grandparents in 1851
https://www.familysearch.org/ark:/61903/1:1:SGBT-L3L

William's birth reg
March 1839 Wokingham vol 6 page 276
Skaats, William
mother's maiden surname Mason

There is a birth reg of a Frances Skeates, Q3 1841, Wokingham. Having trouble finding it on the new birth index.

And two baptisms to Isaac and Sarah, both prior to that date
George Skeates, 14 August 1831, High Halstow, Kent

It seemed a bit odd that Isaac and Sarah would marry one day after having a child baptized at the same church.
FreeReg has the marriage on 17 August 1833.
Both baptisms are transcribed on the site, that of George at High Halstow more fully.
