Sarah Ann dexter

[Ladyhawk]

Hi John, I seem to be going back and forth with this one   

Re the registration districts from FreeBMD

Basford
Costock Nottinghamshire from 1937 to 1974 See Table 2, note (w).

Loughborough
Costock Nottinghamshire from 1837 to 1936 See Table 2, note (e).

Sarah Ann Bonam nee Dexter born Costock c 1866 on the censuses I think her birth would be the one registered in Loughborough

There is another SAD birth registered in Loughborough but year is 1861 mmn TIVEY

[softly softly]

I should have spotted the reg district for Basford (Costock) being from 1937-74. Puts a whole new light being Loughborough.

Is this a silly scenario?

The Sarah Ann who married William Truman in 1887 with no father recorded went on to marry John Bonam in 1888.

I can find no evidence of any Truman/Dexter births after 1887 or William/Sarah after their marriage.

William & Sarah Truman are on 1901 census living 14, Vincent Terrace, Nottingham, Nottinghamshire

William Truman   Head   1864   Nightwatchman   Grantham, Lincolnshire
Sarah A   Wife   1865   Lace dresser   Nottinghamshire
Clara   Truman   Dau.  1894      Nottinghamshire >>>>>        mmn DEXTER
William E(Edmund) Truman   Son   1896      Nottinghamshire >>>>> mmn DEXTER
Esther   Truman   Mother 1828   Nottinghamshire

Edit to add

1911 census the Truman family are living 3 Gladstone Terrace Nottingham

Sarah Ann Truman  1864   Lace dresser   Basford Nottm

Perhaps this is her birth entry

DEXTER, SARAH  ANN     -  No mother's maiden name
GRO Reference: 1864  S Quarter in BASFORD  Volume 07B  Page 19

I can't be 100% certain but going back to the 1871 census with the two Sarah Dexter's with their grandmother Sarah Dexter - it's possible that two of her children named their daughters Sarah Ann.

Sarah A Dexter age 7 (1864) - could be a possible illegitimate daughter of either Eliza or Elizabeth Dexter (daughters of John Dexter & Sarah) you would need her b/c to verify

1851 census
Piece:   2127
Folio:   171
Page Number:   15
John Dexter   40
Sarah Dexter   36 bn Mansfield
Eliza Dexter   10 bn Basford
William Dexter   8
Elizabeth Dexter 7 bn Basford
John Dexter   4
George Dexter   8 Mo

her possible birth reg

DEXTER, SARAH  ANN     -  No mother's maiden name
GRO Reference: 1864  S Quarter in BASFORD Volume 07B  Page 19

Both Eliza and Elizabeth married in 1867 father John Dexter

Elizabeth Dexter married John WARD one witness Eliza Dexter
Eliza Dexter married John WILSON   witnesses John & Elizabeth WARD

and on 1881 census Sarah Dexter has Dexter and Ward grandchildren with her ( so wondering if Sarah is daughter of Elizabeth Dexter who married John Ward rather than Eliza - just speculation

24, Nelson Street, Basford, Nottinghamshire
Sarah Dexter   Head   Widow   1802   Mansfield, Nottinghamshire
John   Dexter Grand son   Single       1859   Trimmer (hos)   Basford
William   Ward   Grand son   1861 Bleacher   Basford
Sarah A DexterGrand daughter   1865   Lace dresser Basford,
John   Ward   Grand son   Single 1866   Trimmer (hos)   Basford
Sarah J   Ward   Grand daughter   1871   Basford
Frank   Ward   Grand son   1873   Scholar   Basford
George Holroyd   Grand son   1874   Scholar Basford (son of William & Jane nee Dexter bn 1852)

It's possible that Sarah A Dexter born c 1864 was the one that married William Truman her pob matches on censuses as does her occupation, although no occupation given on her 1887 m/c

Sarah Ann Dexter age 3 (1868) - daughter of William & Eliza nee Robinson

her birth reg

I hope that the above makes some sort of sense

[softly softly]

I am going to be counting Sarah Ann Dexter's tonight instead of sheep

Again can’t be 100% certain but this looks to confirm the Sarah Ann Dexter who married William Truman she is probably related to Sarah Dexter from the 1881 census details posted

I couldn’t find her and William Truman on 1891 census but it looks as if her name is written as Susan, with her are a Sarah WARD & George HOLROYD.

Thanks everyone
Think we will all be counting Sarah Ann dexters
Don’t think we can be sure if any of these
We have 2 in 1871 with grand mother
And Sarah Ann with grandfather born costock on 1871 census
Pity ancestors didn’t realise the problems future generations would have!!!
