I'm trying to find a marriage for SARAH EMMA MANSELL RAWBONE. She was born in 1854 Q2 in Stratford upon Avon. She was baptised on 9th July 1854 at Holy Trinity in Stratford upon Avon. Her parents are listed as Thomas Rawbone and Elizabeth.
I know the 'Mansell' in her name is her mother's maiden name, as I found her parents' marriage - 18th Nov 1845 at Holy Trinity in Stratford upon Avon. Thomas Rawbone and Elizabeth Mansell.
I believe Sarah married William Bryan, and she appears in census records with him from 1881 onwards, living in Birmingham. Each time her place of birth is listed as Stratford upon Avon. Details as follows:
1881 - Steward Street (house name hard to read)
Lodging with her husband William Bryan with the Lawton family (William and Adelaide Lawton). At this point they have 2 children - Sarah E Bryan and William H Bryan. (N.B. Lawton is connected to the Bryan family that I am also looking into).
1891 - 13 Court 8 House Steward Street
Living with William and their children - Sarah E, William, Florence, Charles and Eliza Jane.
1901 - 6 back 47 Steward Street
Living with William and their children - Sarah, William, Florence, Charles, Elizabeth. Also Joseph Dainty (22) is living there with his daughter Elsie May Dainty (2). Joseph Dainty married William their daughter Sarah Elizabeth Bryan in 1898 so I'm not sure why she was listed with the Bryan surname and not her married name on this census.
1911 - 5/47 Steward Street
Living with her daughter Sarah Dainty and her husband Joseph. Sarah senior is listed as a widow.
It's a shame her husband William Bryan had died prior to 1911, as it would have been helpful to see in this census how long they had been married. I cannot find a marriage between a Sarah Emma Mansell Rawbone and a William Bryan.
Another poster on here told me in another query I had (years ago) that on GRO William H Bryan (the son of William and Sarah) had a mother's maiden name listed as Rawbone. And that also a Sarah Elizabeth Bryan had a mother's maiden name listed as Mansell on GRO. I don't know if that is the case or not as I can't find this.
William H Bryan married in 1906 and was living at 77 Steward Street at the time. Father's name William Bryan. Witnesses to the marriage were Florence Bryan and Frank Barker, who later married. This Florence is William's sister.
If anyone could help me with a marriage between Sarah Emma Mansell Rawbone and William Bryan I would greatly appreciate it. I need this to determine William's father's name so I can continue searching the Bryan line.
