Sarah Andrews/Twiggs b Quorndon

[Annie65115]

I’m trying to find a baptism for Sarah Twigg/s nee Andrews, b Quorndon around 1790ish.

John Twigg and Sarah Andrew were married by banns in Quorndon on 4 Feb 1811.Witnesses Joseph Jackson and Ann Andrews.

I can’t find any baptisms for this couple until 1823 when they bapt Eliza (Twiggs) in Quorndon. John died in Quorndon in 1836. Eliza married in Nottingham in 1840 (I have this certificate) and the 1851 and 1861 censuses confirm her POB as Quorndon. Eliza's address when she married was Newcastle St, Nottingham.

I can’t see any trace of Sarah Twigg/s in the subsequent Quorndon registers. I think it may be her in Nottingham in the 1841 and 1851 censuses:
1841, surname Twiggs: Sarah age 50, James age 20, Jane age 10, and Hannah Humber age 20 (Hannah m James Twigg). None born in county. At Duttons Court, St Mary, Nott.
1851: Twiggs: James age 31, Hannah (his wife) age 29, Ann (daughter) age 3; then separate household at same address, Sarah age 63, a widow and lodger. All born in Quorndon.

The only death that fits is that of Sarah buried in Sneinton in 1854, age 65.

But I can’t find any suitable baptisms for Sarah Andrew/s in or around Quorndon at the right time. Nor can I see any baptisms for James and Jane, to reassure me that the Nottingham family is the right one. Can anyone spot anything?

Hi

Have you looked at quorn museum website to see if there is anything on there

I have looked at your post on a few occasions, each thing I found proved incorrect. However below might be worth a look, if you have not already considered it?

John Andrews
Spouse   Mary Hares
Marriage   4 Oct 1787 Heather,  Leicestershire

Heather, Leicestershire (11 miles from Quorndon) John & Mary

Anne Andrew   30 Jun 1788
William Andrew   5 Apr 1789
Sarah Andrew   29 Dec 1791
John Andrew   1 Jul 1793
Elizabeth Andrew   28 Jun 1795

No marriage for Sarah at Heather but marriages there for Anne & Elizabeth

(Marriages for Ann & Elizabeth also at Quorndon)?

Another possible marriage for John Twiggs to Jane Ames
16 Apr 1786 Shepshed, Leicestershire. Or are they the same?

I don’t know if you have had a look at the quorn museum website, on this site,  suggested by Jon, it does contain some references to the Twigg family, nothing relevant as I could see on the few Andrews listed. Only Eliza 1823 noted, no earlier baptisms. Given John's occupation I wonder if they moved to Notts for a time?
You will know most of the info. but a couple of useful snippets, especially the last point.
