Find Ancestors

Hi All,
Well I have managed to move slightly forward. I found My Sarah, not the one who came to Morocco. My Sarah never married but she lived her partner, a famous footballer, for may years and had 13 children. I am now in touch with her granddaughter.

Regards
Marie :-D

I posted this birth for Sarah (from the baptism):
Born: 18 Feb 1903

and Choccy the same date of birth from the school registers:
Date of Birth Day: 18
Date of Birth Month: 2
Date of Birth Year: 1903

followed by the death:
Sarah Ellen Tarpy
>Birth Date: 18 Feb 1903
Date of Registration: Aug 1987
Age at Death: 84
so if she married did she revert to her maiden name for death???

Will be interesting to learn about the marriage information.

Hi Patchem, Thank once again, can you believe i had a contact today for Sarah. According this person she did marry and she had children. Awaiting more info.

Regards
Marie

Choccy has posted the death for Sarah. (The posting before the birth and death for Eliza)

Just to point out that if the 1910 birth for Ellen is correct, she would not be 5 months on the 1911 census. That is why I put that I believed the age to be incorrectly recorded.
(The census was taken in April, so if 5 months she would have been born in November, and registered in Oct/Dec 1910, most probably).

Yes PatinCyprus I think it is, I did think it strange to have 2 children of almost the same age, i.e one at 5 1/2 and one at 5. I didn't think about it being 5 months.

Still getting nowhere with my Sarah though :-(

Ho hum still have so much to learn

Think 1911 census should say 5 months, so death looks very like her. This looks like her birth.

Hi Patchem, yes it looks like you are correct, this only listing for Eliza.
Thank you for your help. Is there a way of checking school records so I can follow Sarah. Still new at all this. xx

Hi Inky, thank you for your reply, I have checked all variations of spellings, and found nothing!!!!!!!!!!
I have found a passenger list with a Sarah Tarpey bound for Tangier, but the home address doesn't look right. i know mt family never moved from Manchester but this shows up as Bury.

Hi Choccy , thank you for your help. Eliza mentioned above cannot be the same person, as my Eliza was 5 years old on the census.

Is there anywhere else I can search

Started at the school on 11th April 1916, left on the 21st April 1916 and returned to St Michaels School

I assume that you have searched with all the variations of that surname?

One of my lines is Turpie, and I have found a number of errors with that. They were earlier than yours - ie census and parish records.

Records available online may have been correctly transcribed by individuals. But they may have been produced using OCR software. And that is unlikely to produce 100% accuracy, especially when many of the source images are a bit (or very) fuzzy.

This is ages in 1911;
James Tarpey 10
Sarah Ellen Tarpey 8
John Tarpey 5
Leo Tarpey 2
Eliza Tarpey 5

It's on the other thread Patchem, if that helps :-)

Could you copy over that 1911 census, please?

Added:
The 1911 census posted on that thread does not have those 2 daughters as 2nd and 4th oldest. Which is accurate?
Thanks
