Ursula Cromwell married William Philips 21 May 1706

*** would need to check OPR - probably 1704 due to the Church Calendar running from Ladies Day to Ladies Day in this period on 25th March. The OPR would still show
1703 from 1 Jan 1704 to 24 Mar 1704

-------------------
Richard may have died in 1711 - Ancestry holds a record of Administration granted to Susannah Cromwell in 1711

You say Bartholomew married Amy Wilkins.

But there's this, on the same date:


Bartholomew Cromwell
in the Wiltshire, England, Church of England Baptisms, Marriages and Burials, 1538-1812
Name Bartholomew Cromwell
Event Type Marriage
Marriage or Bann Date 23 Mar 1671
Marriage or Bann Place Westwood, Wiltshire, England
Parish as it Appears Westwood
Spouse
Mary Pagnell

A different man? Or did you give the wrong bride's name?


The image of the original document says, "Bartholomew Cromwell was married to Mary Pagnell the 23rd of March 1671."

Bartholomew's burial??

Bartholomew Cromwell
in the Wiltshire, England, Church of England Baptisms, Marriages and Burials, 1538-1812
Name Bartholomew Cromwell
Event Type Burial
Burial Date 23 Nov 1679

No age or other info on the image.


But there's another one:

Bartholomew Cromwell

Hi This is another shot in the dark,on the Westwood Wiltshire Church transcript there are three other Cromwell Marriages.
Bartholomew Cromwell - Amy Wilkins married 23/3/1671.
Oliver Cromwell-Ame May married 4/2/1681.
Richard Cromwell- xxx Holcom married 4/4/1696.
I wonder if they could be part of Sarah Cromwell family.
Thanks.

This query is linked to Dianna's other thread, about Martha and Samuel Dando:

https://www.genesreunited.co.uk/boards/board/ancestors/thread/1402276

According to at least one Ancestry tree (for whatever that's worth), Martha was a
gr-gr-daughter of Sarah and William.

Her father is said to be Stephen Dando 1745-1830, whose father was William Dando 1717-70, whose parents were Sarah and William.

Baptism records for William 1717 and Stephen, seem to bear that out - though as said on the other thread, there were lots of Dando/Dandys in Frampton Cotterell, for many generations.

The marriage is transcribed on FMP……….that site links her name to a baptism on 23rd April 1671 at Erlestoke. Father’s name Edwa

No proof, obviously

Did the couple really marry when each of them was only 10 years of age?

Which of their offspring is your proven line? When and where was that person born?

If Elizabeth was Sarah's mother, she would have been 55 when Sarah was born in Gloucestershire - the year before Elizabeth died in Devon.

Doesn't seem likely to me.

This is the grave of the Elizabeth Cromwell, nee Russell, whom the trees claim is Sarah's mother:


https://www.findagrave.com/memorial/90189003/elizabeth-cromwell#view-photo=137574888

Her husband Henry was son of the infamous Oliver Cromwell.

But there's no proof that Sarah was her daughter.

[NOTES ADDED by somebody]
Daughter of FRANCIS (Sir, 2nd Baronet) RUSSELL 1616 – 1664 and CATHERINE WHEATLEY 1635 – 1670, granddaughter of WILLIAM (Sir, 1st Baronet, Treasurer of the Navy) RUSSELL 1575 – 1654 and ELIZABETH GERARD 1590 – 1620

Married HENRY CROMWELL Sr 1628 – 1674 on 10 May 1653 at All Saints, Huntingdon, Huntingdonshire, England ; parents of 5 sons and 2 daughters

NOTE: Remains of the Cromwell family were reportedly removed from the vault in 1880; reporting source did not specify where they were taken or reburied or for what purpose they were removed.

I think you are correct that is why I questioned the validity of the entry.
Thank you for trying.

Sarah is on 368 trees on Ancestry!

As far as I can see , looking at a few , none of them provide any proof of her birth or parents.

Most will just have copied blindly from each other without checking anything.

Where are you finding the name Elizabeth Russell?
