Clare, I was looking at your other thread, where Wayne (I think) posted the marriage:

SAMUEL HEADS
Spouse: SARAH OLIVER
Marriage: 04 NOV 1816 Whickham, Durham, England

If you are looking for an 1800/1 birth, this would make her 16 at marriage. Quite possible but I would be tempted to look at bit earlier for a birth, expecially as the ages on the 41 census are rounded up/down as Chris said.

Unfortunately there were no birth etc., certificates until 1837.....if you wanted to find out BMD's you had to go to the parish records.

Hi Clare,
Where were the two Sarahs born?....by the way you are not dull...we have all had to learn :-)

Clare

The 1841 census has ages rounded down for those aged over 15.

So she could have been any age between 40 and 44.

As you have the IGI giving marriage date, I would look up record index for marriage and apply for certificate. This will give both parties fathers names. This way you can check with info you know on Samuel and you then know her fathers name and can apply for both birth certificates and can then cross ref and find out which is one you need.

Sorry to be dull, I've never had to do this before!

Thanks,

You might have to come forward to go back.

How did you get to Sarah Oliver,

Clare Report 29 Aug 2007 19:46

Don't know her parents names though......

Vera

Vera Report 29 Aug 2007 19:44

Hi Clare,
Unfortunately because of the dates you will need the parish records for the births/baptisms.

Regards Vera

Dawnydeedee Report 29 Aug 2007 19:43

As Wayne said you will have to get both. Do you have the marriage certificate to check fathers name against?

WayneTracey

WayneTracey Report 29 Aug 2007 19:42

you apply for both birth certs and check the parentage.
