Who are Sarah and Mildred?

[Jamesk10]

1841 Census in Tackley shows the King family:



A while ago I assumed that Sarah was the mother of John or Eliza.

Now I have found the parents of John (baptised 1803) to be Charles & Elizabeth, and the parents of Elizabeth (baptised 1810) to be Thomas & Mary.

So Sarah is the mother of neither of them.

And to make it more interesting, the baptism record of Mildred (bapt 1828) states her parents were Thomas & Sarah.

Now I have no idea how Sarah and Mildred are connected to this family!

Have you found them in 1851, and looked for a marriage for Mildred to try to check name of Father?

Looks like Sarah dies in 1845 in Nethercot/Tackley age 62.

1851, no Matilda  Mildred, sorry!

What happened to Elizabeth the daughter of Thomas & Sarah baptised 1812? 

I see that there is a baptism for Elizabeth Matilda parents Thomas & Mary 1810 as you say

Eliza 1841 marries as Elizabeth in 1828

1841 = Eliza,
1851 = Eliza age 40
1861 = Eliza M. Age 51
1871 = Eliza M age  60
1881 = Elizabeth age 70
1884 = buried as Emily Matilda. But registered as Eliza Matilda.

Just an hypothesis...

I am wondering if Elizabeth 1841 & 1851 = dau of Thomas & Sarah
Then she dies and Elizabeth Matilda moves in?
It seems weird to me that if she was attached to Elizabeth Matilda that she didn’t Marry with it.
However, I have to say I cannot see a likely death between 1851 & 1861.   
There are rather too many Kings around are there not?!

I see that there is a baptism for Elizabeth Matilda parents Thomas & Mary 1810 as you say

All other baptisms there with father Thomas King, from 1806 to 1828 (Mildred!), have the mother as Sarah.
There might be the possibility of an error on Eliza's baptism?

Burial of a Thomas King in Tackley, 14 Feb 1830, age 47.

As for the 11 year old Sarah in 1841, there is a baptism in Tackley of Sarah Ann to John + Eliza King, 15 Jan 1831.

Looks like Sarah dies in 1845 in Nethercot/Tackley age 62.

Buried 27 January 1845.

Could go for the pdf of the death reg?

Yes! About half the village it seems

At the moment I have this same thought.

Looking through the baptism records in Tackley, I found 8 children baptised to Thomas & Sarah between 1806 - 1828, including Mildred. There is a gap between George (1808) and Elizabeth (1812) where Eliza Matilda could fit in at 1810, they had children consistently 2 years apart but a bigger gap here.

No other baptisms found for Thomas & Mary, apart from that of Eliza M that we think had the mother's name recorded wrongly.

I can't find any possible marriages for Thomas & Mary, there are possibilities for Thomas & Sarah in Oxford.

If that is what's happened it would make the picture of the family on the 1841 census much simpler.

• All children are those of John & Eliza, apart from Mildred
• Sarah is the mother of Eliza
• Mildred is the youngest child of Sarah
• Sarah and Mildred moved in with the family after Thomas died 1830

Sarah dies 1845 so not on 1851 census.

I still can't find any other records for Mildred, apart from the baptism and 1841 census, no other census records or marriage/death for her.

I think I've found Thomas's baptism, 25 Nov 1781 Tackley son of William and Mary.

He might have got confused and given his mother's name (Mary) instead of the child's mother's name (Sarah) on Mildred's baptism record
