Sarah Bird Wrestlingworth 1841/51/61 please

[janan]

Hi
I'm looking for a Sarah Bird who is present at the death of my ggg grandfather Young Carver in Wrestlingworth in 1867. I know my ggg grandmother Mercy (a Bird before her marriage) had a sister Sarah born circa 1796 so it might be her as I haven't yet found a marriage/death for her. Also Thomas Bird a nephew of Mercy's married a Sarah in 1852 so could be her. If anyone is able to look-up Sarah Birds in Wrestlingworth in 41, 51 and 61 that would be very helpful. Of course if both appear in 61 I still won't know but will at least have details of possibles
Thanks in anticipation.
Jan

Thanks Darcy/Sarah
I take it there was no sign of a Sarah Bird born 1796? That's great.

Hi Jan

I think Thomas and Sarah may have married a bit earlier than 1852 as they appear to be nesting together in 1851

HO107/1753 folio 252
Wrestlingworth, Water End
Thomas Bird lodger  21 ag lab b Wrestlingworth
Sarah Bird lodger 21 b Tadlow
in household of William Warren 43 parish clerk and wife Mary Ann 40 b Wrestlingworth

also

Ann Bird head widow 70 farmer b Sutton Beds
Sarah Bird dau unmarr 40 b Sandy
Ann Bird dau unm 38 b Sandy
Catherine Bird dau unm 33 b Sandy
Thos Bird son unm 30 b Muggerhanger

A Sarah Bird age 28 was buried in Wrestlingworth on 1 Dec 1826 which looks as though it might be the one you're looking for.

Thanks once more for your help David 
I've no idea where I got 1852 for a marriage date for Thomas and Sarah, doesn't seem to be on the IGI and in any case I have no maiden name for Sarah - must have made it up  I like the idea of them nesting together in Water End - ducks presumably.
I wonder who Ann Bird was married to? Would you be able to look on the 1841 sometime please - maybe he was still alive then?
Thanks for the burial of the older Sarah, seems to confirm that it was Thomas's wife attending to young when he died.

Thanks again
Cheers Jan

Thanks for that David. Born out of county makes Thomas a possible brother of John Bird father of Mercy who I think was born in Cambs but haven't confirmed - Thomas might come in handy.
Cheers Jan
