Just noticed that Chris has added possible baptisms for Mercy and siblings- so, if this George below was the witness on Mercy's 1st marriage, can anyone see him on the census returns?

Edit: Scrap that- think this is his burial:

Thinking this could be Sarah and Henry in 1841- image does say Blackman- although the baptism for Solomon does state Blakeman:

Which fits with this (Mercy and her mother at same address):

Don't think the 1841 put up by Mike is correct- this is the same family in 1861:

will have to send for that one to

so henry must have died between 1833 and 1847

Ah, as suspected, pre 1837 so not on freebmd.
BLAKEMORE rather than Blakeman but odds on that its the right marriage

Sarah Law

marriage on Freebmd

Marriages Dec 1847
Blakeman Sarah - Dudley 18 459
Broadhurst Samuel - Dudley 18 459


previous marriage to Henry not found, or may not even exist !

she must have married or with blakeman before broadhurst to use his name

did you find the marriage on free bmd

and would that be sarah law birth 1818

NO
Sarah married Samuel Broadhurst in 1847
She was going by the name of Blakeman in 1844 when Mercy was born.

If you get the marriage cert to Broadhurst it should tell you if she was a widow.

Se may have never married Henry, just took his name.

don't know how they are connected to the broadhust unless sarah law married one

I don't know if they are sarah law parents just the names broadhurst on her daughter marriage cert

so do you think sarah law was married to a broadhurst before blakeman ?

Sarah's parents
