Parents of Sarah Asher

ProfilePosted byOptionsPost Date

I am looking for some help to see if I can find the parents of Sarah Asher born c1802 Aldgate, Middx.

I found a bapt on the Pallot records: Sarah Asher 1802 S.AND.Holbon. Parents (James and Sarah).

On the Pallots marriage index there is a James Asher and Sarah Hickman who married 1790 St Maurice, Winchester. But as this is the only record I have found I am not sure how to go about confirming it is correct or not.

I think Sarah had a brother James 1813-1815 and a sister Julia born 1815. Sarah married George Gordon and Julia is living with them on the 1841 census.

Any help would be appreciated.

Hi Trish,

also found this...... which ties into the marriage you were thinking of;

Pallot's Baptism Index for England: 1780 - 1837
about Frances Asher
Name: Frances Asher
Baptism Date: 1791
Parent 1: James Asher
Parent 2: Sarah A Nee HickmanAsher
Parish: S. Matthew
COUNTY: Ipswich


Although it wouldn't be impossible for this James and Sarah to have a daugther born 1815, 25 years after marriage, I would think it doubtful though?

Thanks for that Dee.

I am now thinking that it is not the correct marriage record for the James and Sarah I am looking for. Just going by the area, I know people moved around a lot, but from the records of the children I have found so far the area seems to be London. I will have to keep looking!

Thanks again for your help.

Is this the marriage for Sarah and George ?

Name: George Gordon
Spouse Name: Sarah Hasher
Record Type: Marriage
Marriage Date: 13 Sep 1826
Parish: St John of Wapping
COUNTY: Middlesex
Borough: Tower Hamlets


Do you know what happened to Julia after the 1841 census?

Did she marry?

Trish

Yes that is the marriage for George and Sarah.

I have not been able to find Julia after 1841. I have looked for a marriage but have not found one.

So far I have found a few of George and Sarah's daughters came to Australia. I have been looking to see if Julia also came over but have had no luck in finding her.
