Find Ancestors

Following up the Hudson family I have found this marriage in FamilySearch and would now like to find Sarah being born :-

Name: John Hudson

Spouse's Name: Sarah Nicholson

Event Date: 18 Mar 1798
Event Place: Wakefield, York, England
Indexing Project (Batch) Number: I03723-7 , System Origin: England-EASy , GS Film number: 1542102

Is there another site that would provide additional info on Sarah to make this possible please?

Many thanks,
Frances

Have you found her in any census records that could give you an idea of where and when she was born?

A possible for 1841?

How did you work back to the marriage? If through their children............who were they?

Have you looked for a baptism on fs site?

This gives the church they were married in.

Thank you Jacqueline, alviegal, and Catherine. I am somewhat unsure that the 1841 census is them as it would suggest an age of 12 for John getting married. I grant that a five year discrepancy would take him upto 17 but I would hope for a better match.
A marriage giving the fathers names would be some help. My original thought that it was a bit unlikely that Sarah would make it to 1851, to positively identify her age and place of birth.
The marriage follows finding

Name: Elizabeth Hudson
Gender: Female
Christening Date: 03 Jun 1810
Christening Place: NEW OR ZION INDEPENDENT,WAKEFIELD,YORK,ENGLAND
Birth Date: 12 Apr 1809
Father's Name: John Hudson

Mother's Name: Sarah

Indexing Project (Batch) Number: C13368-1 , System Origin: England-ODM , GS Film number: 828166

whose credentials come from later census when married and with her family

Was Elizabeth the only child?

Her baptism would suggest that her parents were not C of E, which would rule out the 1798 marriage.

Elizabeth had several siblings..............

Marriage records of that era do not include info about fathers

Yes Jacqueline these are the children I found before picking the marriage between John and Sarah. She would have been 39 for Jame's birth so all possible

Thank you alviegal. Now you are just trying to mess with my head! Could The surnames Nicholson and Simpson be the same Sarah and have been messed up in the transcription?

This could be Sarah's death :-

Name: Sarah Hudson
Gender: Female
Burial Date: 29 Apr 1849
Burial Place: Wakefield, York, England
Marital Status: Married
Spouse's Name: John Hudson

Indexing Project (Batch) Number: I02213-3 , System Origin: England-EASy , GS Film number: 1542075 , Reference ID: p 269, #2148

It is the only one after 1841 with a husband John - time to look for a gravestone?

Does John - Butcher show up in 1851, as a widower?

Look for him on Ancestry which is FREE until midnight 26th

Thank you Jacqueline, I'll give it a try
