Sarah Greene born 1720 Burford, Shropshire
« on: Wednesday 31 March 21 14:51 BST (UK) »
Sarah married Richard Turner at Burford church 7 May 1742.
Having spent some time on a fruitless earch for her husband's ancestry ( a visit to Worcester archives is required) I thought I would turn to Sarah Green baptised Burford, Shropshire in 1720.

I believe her parents were George Greene (?- Mar 1768) and Sarah(?-Dec 1723).
With children:
Mary Greene 22 Jul 1713 Burford
Hannah Greene 26 Jun 1717 Burford
Sarah 10 Oct 1720 Burford buried Dec 1800 Broseley
George Pooton Greene 17 Dec 1723 Burford, Buried Mar 1768 Ludlow

George maried Martha Jones Sep 1744 in Ludlow and had a child James Greene bapt  23 Feb 1745 Ludlow.

According to a genealogy published in Miscellanea Genealogica et Heraldics in the early 1800s (which is known to have errors)
'Sarah Greene, only sister of James Greene Barrister at Law of Burford near Tenbury, Co. Worcs; related to the Cornwall and Newdigate families and descended from the Barons of Burford. Her brother died without issue'
Spot the errors ! James son of George Pooton Greene was indeeed a lawyer, as was his father.
Can anyone help out with her links to the Barons of Burford, the Cornwall and/or Newdigate families? Or even any further ancestry at all!

Any help greatfully received. Thanks.

Have you seen the following website, I see Sarah's baptism/marriage there may be more. Records go back to 1558.

Thanks. Yes. Thats where I had the dates I listed from. It doesn't help with earlier generations, at least not that I can see.
