Sarah Andrews Baptism and confusion.

[Lensmeister]

Hi all,

So after a very successful Free Easter Weekend on Ancestry I have a lot of gaps filled but a few questions but one question is still plaguing me.

Timeline of events:

1812/13 Sarah Andrews baptised in Maiden Newton. This was worked out from the following info:

The 1861 census gives Sarah's age as 49 born in Maiden Newton Dorset.
The 1851 census gives Sarah's age as 38 and born in Dorset.

In 1838 Sarah married William Legg in Winfrith Newburgh, Dorset. This is confirmed by the record of the marriage on the Dorset OPC site for the parish.

15 / 10 / 1838 William Legge a widow married Sarah Andrews a spinster.
His father William a farmer).
Her father William (a dairyman).

Sarah Andrews is not showing as baptised on in Maiden Newton:
Freereg (1)
Ancestry (1)
Find My Past (1)
Family Search (1)

(1) a Sarah Maey Andrews shows on these in Melbury Osmond, Dorset (looks about 6/8 miles from Maiden Newton)


I was then considering what if Sarah was married before her marriage to William Legg but she gave status as spinster on the Winfrith Newburgh wedding.
Nothing on that theory so far.


Here are the questions.

• Where are the Maiden Newton Baptisms for between 1800 - 1820?
• Could Sarah Maey Andrews be the right Sarah Andrews?

Thanks in advance for any advice, theories or answers.

I'm off to bed in a moment to rest my tired brain.

Neil.

Maiden Newton is a DT2 postcode and therefore comes under 'Dorchester' (the closest biggest town) records maybe possibly come under Dorchester?

Hi,

Spent a lot of time yesterday trying to cram as much Ancestry time in as possible and today work

ok so I went on the Dorset OPC site and went through all the dorchester online records but no results or matches to Sarah Andrews.


Anyone know if the Maiden Newton records are online anywhere ?

On the freereg website there is the transcription of the baptism of Sarah Macy Andrews at  Melbury Osmond .
It states that her father William was a dairyman so it could possibly  be her

Thanks, it certainly looks to be her. She gave Maiden Newton as place, I want to kill that off before committing to the Melbury Osmond one
