Sally Gardner

[emeltom]

Sally Gardner was baptised 29 March 1801 in Stow on the Wold to Richard and Hannah Gardner. Apart from this baptism I can find nothing else for her - no marriage or death nor does she appear on any Census. She is not mentioned in Richard's Will of 1853 either but he does mention a daughter Mary Wills. I haven't been able to find a baptism for a Mary Gardner although I have her marriage to Edward Boulton in Gloucester in 1822. Edward died 1834 in Stow and Mary obviuosly remarried to John Wills. I can't find the marriage nor can I find her in the Censuses but there is a death for a Mary Wills Cheltenham 1869 aged 70 which could be her.

Can anyone see anything for either Sally or Mary and could they possibly be one and the same person?

Thanks

Have you considered the Sarah Gardner that married Joseph Hudson, 15 Oct 1821 in nearby Evenlode? "Sally", a diminutive of "Sarah"

FindMyPast has a transcript only - hence cannot check witnesses.

If it helps.... Joseph of Longborough.
 Witnesses...Samuel Purser & Richard Webb. Bride and groom made their marks.

Many thanks. Can anyone see Sarah and Joseph in any Census to confirm Sarah's pob, because I can't.

Also I appreciate that Sally is a diminutive of Sarah but why baptise her Sally if her name is really Sarah. Surely she would have been baptised Sarah even though she may have been known as Sally to the family.
