Charles and Sarah Bridge

[yekepa]

Would appreciate any help on Sarah Bridge - all I have is details from gravestone -in Risby Churchyard
i.e. Sarah wife of Charles Bridge died Sept 13th 1893 age 75

I have found Charles and Sarah living in Risby, Suffolk on census.

What I am hoping to get some help on is just Sarah - her maiden name and family.

Many thanks

Charles Bridge Q4 1842
Thingoe, Suffolk
married Sarah Vale or Sarah Tweed or Mary Ann Sharpe

two Sarahs unfortunately

Have you found the marriage of a Charles and Sarah? If not, there is an 1842 Marriage with a Charles Bridge and a couple of Sarah’s on the same page which might be worth looking into. Reg district is Thingoe which includes Risby.

Added: pipped at the post by Alan, but will post anyway.

1841 census
Risby
Charles Bridge 20 living with what looks like parents
next door, Sarah Vale, 20 living in house of William Hall, shoemaker and family

I think that’s what’s called circumstantial evidence.

I was just about to post about Sarah Vale, but hadn’t noticed the neighbour. Looks pretty likely doesn’t it? Unfortunately not with parents.

Speculating that the OP has already discovered this, hence the question about parents.

 I recommend buying the marriage certificate yekepa.

Sarah Bridge has West Stow as birthplace on later censuses

thus possible baptism for Sarah Vale
10 May 1818, West Stow
parents John Vale and Sarah

Thank you everyone -

I think I will pursue "Vale" further looks the most likely
