Hi Katherine i have got a copy of Jane Annie Sandoes wedding cert and her father was indeed Isaac Sandoe Mariner so Margaret and Emma have an older sister Jane Annie. They all seem to be without a mother the mind boggles.

Duh. Henry Sandoe *is* Isaac's brother:


HENRY JAMES SANDO
Christening: 27 JAN 1828 Kenwyn, Cornwall, England
Father: STEPHEN SANDO
Mother: ELIZABETH


......... although there is actually no Henry in the widow Elizabeth's household in 1841 ............

And the husband of Jessie is shown as born in Mylor, which is Falmouth, not Truro ..........


This looks like Isaac's brother Henry in 1861:


Name: Henry Sandow
Age: 33
Estimated Birth Year: abt 1828
Relation: Head
Spouse's Name: Mary
Where born: Kenwyn, Cornwall, England
Civil Parish: St Agnes
Ecclesiastical parish: Mount Hawke
County/Island: Cornwall


So Henry Sandoe, father of Jane Annie and Jessie, must be just a cousin or some such.

Name: Henry Sandoe + Jessie Hocking
Year of Registration: 1854
Quarter of Registration: Apr-May-Jun
District: Falmouth

Volume: 5c
Page: 381

-- that's Jessie Sandoe, widow, with whom Jane Sandoe was living in 1871. Obviously, her mother. Except she isn't in her mother's household in 1861.

That's because she was with her maternal grandparents in 1861:


Name: Jane H Sandoe
Age: 5
Estimated Birth Year: abt 1856

Jane Hocking 55
William Hocking 56
Jane H Sandoe 5


That seems to be Jane sorted. The family relationship between Henry Sandoe and Isaac Sandoe is not clear. But for some reason, Henry's daughter Jane (Searles) and Isaac's daughter Sarah Jessie are roomies in 1881.

Edit -- nononono, got it wrong again. Jane Annie Hocking Sandoe Searles is roomies with her own sister, Jessie Hocking Sandoe, in 1881. I was all wrong about that being Isaac's daughter.

And there is still no marriage that remotely resembles Charles Beaver + Margaret Sandoe.

No Charles Beaver + Margaret marriage, no Margaret Sandoe + anyone marriage.

So my next suggestion is: order the birth certificate for Louisa and see what on earth her mother's name is:

Name: Louisa Margaret Beaver
Year of Registration: 1880
Quarter of Registration: Jul-Aug-Sep
District: Bethnal Green
County: Greater London, London, Middlesex

Oh, doggy, here we are -- in 1871:


Name: Margaret Sandal
Age: 13
Estimated Birth Year: abt 1858
Relation: Daughter
Mother's Name: Sarah
Gender: Female
Where born: Stepney, Middlesex, England

Civil Parish: Mile End Old Town
Ecclesiastical parish: St Dunstan

County/Island: London
Country: England

Registration district: Mile End Old Town
Sub-registration district: Mile End Old Town, Eastern
ED, institution, or vessel: 27
Household schedule number: 109

Sarah Rick 67
James Sandal 6
Jessie Sandal 1
Margaret Sandal 13
Sarah Sandal 42


Isaac off on the high seas again, presumably.


But Isaac and Sarah weren't married until 1863. So is Margaret a pre-marriage child of their marriage? Or a child of Isaac and someone else? I considered her being a child of Sarah Swayne, but no Margaret Swayne in the births. (No Emma Caroline Swayne, either.)

So in 1871, Margaret, who is older than Emma Caroline, is living with Isaac's wife Sarah -- while Emma Caroline is off being a domestic servant:


Name: Emma Sandel
Age: 11
Estimated Birth Year: abt 1860
Relation: Servant
Gender: Female
Where born: Cornwall, England

Civil Parish: St Mary Stratford Le Bow
Ecclesiastical parish: St Stephen
County/Island: London
Country: England


Sounds like an evil stepmother, to me. Emma is later living with Jane Annie Sandoe Searles, whose relationship to them all we still don't know.

-- edit -- error -- I keep getting mixed up -- it was Isaac's daughter from his marriage to Sarah Swayne, Sarah Jessie, who was living with Jane Annie Sandoe Searles in 1881.

-- edited again -- let's see whether I can keep this straight now (just edited the next post too) -- it was Jessie Hocking Sandoe who was living with Jane Annie Hocking Sandoe Searles in 1881.

Oh look.

Hmm.

"Ok here we go Margaret Sandoe who married Charles Beaver is the mother of Alice Richards who married Robert Redvers Sharp so she must have married Sharp after Beaver."

That doesn't make sense! She must be the mother of Alice *Sharp*, not Richards.


Marriages Sep 1893
** Beaver Margaret Bethnal Green 1c 412
Joyce Annie Alice Bethnal Green 1c 412
Riches John William Bethnal Green 1c 412
** Sharp Alfred Bethnal Green 1c 412

Okay, one down.


"On Margarets birth cert or so i am told ( i don't have it ) her father is named as Isaac Sandoe Sail Maker"

That must be: on Margaret's *marriage* certificate?


This is the likeliest candidate for being her first husband's death, if he was Charles Beaver:


Name: Charles Beaver
Estimated Birth Year: abt 1860
Year of Registration: 1891
Quarter of Registration: Apr-May-Jun
Age at Death: 31
District: Bethnal Green
County: Greater London, London, Middlesex

So, could this be them in 1891?


Name: Margaret Beaver
Age: 30
Estimated Birth Year: abt 1861
Relation: Wife
Spouse's Name: Charles
Gender: Female
Where born: Stepney, London, England

Civil Parish: Bethnal Green
Ecclesiastical parish: St Jude

ED, institution, or vessel: 16a

Charles Beaver 33
Chas Beaver 8
Emma Beaver 4
James Beaver 1
Jenny Beaver 13
Louisa Beaver 11
Margaret Beaver 30


And here's Margaret in 1901:


Name: Margaret Sharp
Age: 41
Estimated Birth Year: abt 1860
Relation: Wife
Spouse's Name: Alfred
Gender: Female
Where born: Stepney, London, England

Civil Parish: Bethnal Green
Ecclesiastical parish: St John
County/Island: London
Country: England

Registration district: Bethnal Green
Sub-registration district: Bethnal Green, East
ED, institution, or vessel: 16
Household schedule number: 477

Margaret Sharp 41
Alfred Sharp 30
Charles Bew 18 - those names should obviously all be Beaver
Emma Bew 14
James Bew 11
Jennie Bew 21
Louisa Bew 20
Alfred Sharp 6
Jessie Sharp 3
Maggie Sharp 8
Robert Sharp 1


So -- Margaret was born at virtually the same time as Emma Caroline, but in Stepney (if the censuses are to be believed). And that is one load o' kids she had!

Margaret would be the mother of Robert Sharp who married Alice Richards, not the other way around, presumably. I miscalculated your correspondent's date of birth, btw -- it would be 1925, not 1915, duh, so the marriage and birth are too late to be transcribed yet.


The next problem is that none of those Beavers is to be found in 1881, when the first two daughters, Jennie and Louisa, should have been there. Were they daughters of Charles or Margaret by a previous marriage?

Aha, this will be daughter Louisa:

Name: Louisa Margaret Beaver
Year of Registration: 1880
Quarter of Registration: Jul-Aug-Sep

County: Greater London, London, Middlesex

Here we are, in 1881:

And look who's living right next door:

Just what I reproduced a dozen posts back -- and Margaret was living next door all the time.

Aha -- Jane Annie, the one Sarah Jessie (daughter of Isaac by marriage to Sarah Swayne) was living with, in 1881. The one identified as daughter in the household of Jessie Sandoe in Cornwall in 1871. The one who is nowhere to be found in 1861, who married Thomas Searles -- whose marriage certificate you need to get!


Well ... no Charles Beaver married any Margaret, per FreeBMD. Other than a Charles Beaver who may have married Margaret Ann Errington in Westminster in 1852 -- and that obviously wasn't your Margaret. Oh, and one who may have married Frances Margaret E Mills in 1899.

This looks like them in 1901:

Charles Beaver 24
Esther Beaver 1
Frances Beaver 24 - born in Portsmouth c1877
Frances Moody 74

That just doesn't sound much like a Margaret who would be a sister of Emma Caroline, and it wouldn't likely have been a second marriage.


Your correspondent who is 82 is a descendant of the Beaver marriage? So he was born about 1915. His parent -- Margaret's child -- would have had to be born before 1895.

Do you not know, or can't you find out, who that was -- who your correspondent's parent, the child of Margaret, was? That would help to figure out who Margaret was married to, and thus find their marriage, and find out what it said about her father.

Because there really, really is no trace of this Margaret. No Margaret Sandoe birth, no Margaret Sandoe in the censuses, no marriage, etc.

I still don't know what evidence you have of her existence! Can you maybe repeat *everything* that your correspondent told you about her?

I may be doing well, but I really do need a little more help!

On my tangent, this is the birth of Samuel Sandoe bice:


SAMUEL SANDOE BICE
Birth: 22 OCT 1821
Christening: 11 NOV 1821 Wesleyan, Tavistock, Devon, England
Father: WILLIAM BICE
Mother: HONOUR


So at least I've been correct in surmising his mother was a Sandoe:


HONOR SANDOE
Spouse: WILLIAM BICE
Marriage: 26 NOV 1812 Stoke Damerel, Devon, England


Stoke Damerel is the place of birth given for Isaac Sandle in 1851, when he is in the navy. I suspect in that case that is because he signed on out of Plymouth.


Samuel seems to have been baptised twice:


SAMUEL BICE
Birth: 13 FEB 1819
Christening: 22 FEB 1819 Higher Chapel-Independent, Bere Alston, Devon, England
Father: BICE
Mother: HENOUR SANDER


In 1841, Honor Bice in St Blazey, Cornwall, born c1791, shows as born out of county, so there must have been a Devon branch. Sandoes born/living in Devon in the censuses seem to be connected with Kenwyn.

Hello Gerri! Missed you there, coming between mine as I was typing away. Yes, it's what we procrastinating genealogy addicts dream of, isn't it just? ;)


Thought I'd look for widows Sandoe in St Agnes in 1841.


Name: Elizabeth Sandoe
Age: 42
Estimated Birth Year: abt 1799
Gender: Female
Where born: Cornwall, England

Civil Parish: St Agnes
Hundred: Pyder
County/Island: Cornwall
Country: England

Registration district: Truro
Sub-registration district: St Agnes

Elizabeth Sandoe 42
Caroline Sandoe 13
Elizabeth Sandoe 15 - tailoress
George Sandoe 21 - miner
Josiah Sandoe 11
Mary Sandoe 17
William Sandoe 8

She's the only widow lady Sandoe in St Agnes.

Oh look -- a Caroline in the family.

And look what we've found (by starting to make our way through the Truro parishes in the parish index to the IGI and searching for Sandoes by batch number):


Okay, DRUM ROLL PLEASE:


CAROLINE SANDOE
Christening: 14 JUN 1826 Kenwyn, Cornwall, England
Father: STEPHEN SANDOE
Mother: ELIZABETH


STEPHEN SANDOE and his wife.


In batch C022951, their other children are:

1. GEORGE SENDOE
Gender: Male Christening: 21 AUG 1821 Kenwyn, Cornwall, England
2. HENRY JAMES SANDO
Gender: Male Christening: 27 JAN 1828 Kenwyn, Cornwall, England
3. MARY HEATH BENNEY SANDOE
Gender: Female Christening: 08 JUN 1823 Kenwyn, Cornwall, England
4. CAROLINE SANDOE
Gender: Female Christening: 14 JUN 1826 Kenwyn, Cornwall, England
5. ELIZABETH SANDHOE
Gender: Female Christening: 03 APR 1825 Kenwyn, Cornwall, England

No bleeding Isaac. Those are the only baptisms in the IGI with parents Stephen Sandoe and Elizabeth.

The later children of that couple in 1841 -- William and Josiah -- aren't listed in the Kenwyn baptisms (did the family move to St Agnes at that point?), and Isaac would have been a later child. So WHERE IS HE in 1841???

Is there any chance that he is Josiah? Or William, even?


Just by the bye, this seems to be a birth and death within a short time so can be ruled out as your Emma Caroline; age at death was not recorded until the mid-1860s, but the birth cert would likely name the parents:

Births Dec 1862
SANDOE Caroline Truro 5c 170
Deaths Dec 1862
Sandoe Caroline Truro 5c 112

JaneyCanuck Report 22 Dec 2007 23:15

Things you need to get:

(1) marriage certificate:

Name: Jane Annie Sandoe (Thomas Searles)
Year of Registration: 1882
Quarter of Registration: Jan-Feb-Mar
District: Lewisham
County: Greater London, Kent, London
Volume: 1d
Page: 1033

She's the person Sarah Jessie Sandoe, daughter of Isaac, is living with in 1881. She was born c1853, and in 1871 she is in the household of Jessie Sandoe in Cornwall -- the Jessie who is probably the witness to Emma Caroline's marriage.

Her marriage certificate will give her father's name; Isaac?


(2) birth certificate:

Name: Emma Caroline Cock
Year of Registration: 1860
Quarter of Registration: Jan-Feb-Mar
District: Liskeard
County: Cornwall
Volume: 5c
Page: 63

If two parents are named, she would seem not to be yours. If only the mother, she would be a possibility.


(3) death certificate:

Name: Stephen Sandoe
Year of Registration: 1840
Quarter of Registration: Jan-Feb-Mar
District: Truro
County: Cornwall
Volume: 9
Page: 194

for anything it might tell you, especially place of death, so that we can look for his widow in 1841.


The remaining question:

If your correspondent is the grandson of Margaret Sandoe who was the daughter of Isaac, he must know whom she married! Did he say? If he is the son of her son, his name would be the same as Margaret's husband. If he is the son of her daughter, it would be different.

The only marriages shown for a Margaret Sandoe in the GRO are:

Margaret Sandoe 1852 Jul-Aug-Sep Truro Cornwall
Margaret G Sandoe 1915 Jan-Feb-Mar Emerson Chorlton Lancashire

Obviously, neither of them is the grandmother of someone who is 82 yrs old today.

The Margaret who married in 1852 married a George Sandoe, interestingly. This is them in 1861 in St Agnes:

George Sandoe 32
Margeret Sandoe 29
Elizabeth Sandoe 6
George Sandoe 8
James Sandoe 4
Mary Sandoe 2 Mo

They're both of an age to have been siblings of Isaac, but she couldn't have been his daughter.


One mistranscription I did guess at, in addition to the various ones that have appeared in the things I found upthread, is Lando/Landoe. There are indeed Sandoes mistranscribed as Landoe -- in Kenwyn, Truro and St Agnes -- but no Isaac or Margaret.


I think before we can go further, you need those certificates, and we need to know whom this mysterious Margaret Sandoe married!

Back to your Sandoes!

How's this for the possible death of Isaac's father?

Name: Stephen Sandoe
Year of Registration: 1840
Quarter of Registration: Jan-Feb-Mar
District: Truro
County: Cornwall
Volume: 9
Page: 194

That might leave a widow in the 1841 census. If you get that death certificate, it will at least give a location in Truro -- one of the villages I listed above, undoubtedly -- and we can look for her.

Meanwhile, we can browse the IGI. It has these, on a general search for the name Stephen Sandoe:


1. STEPHEN SANDOW - International Genealogical Index
Gender: Male Christening: 25 NOV 1638 Redruth, Cornwall, England

Gender: Male Christening: 22 JUN 1751 Redruth, Cornwall, England
11. STEPHEN SANDOE - International Genealogical Index
Gender: Male Christening: 09 NOV 1788 Saint Agnes Near Truro, Cornwall, England

That last one is the closest there is to a Stephen who would be of an age to be father of your Isaac. He might also be of the previous generation, though. Your Isaac's age is a variable thing in the censuses.

Does his marriage certificate give an age at his marriage to Sarah?

The batch that that last Stephen Sandoe is in, C053061, has 52 Sandoe christenings, ranging from 1723 up to 1836, in Saint Agnes Near Truro. No Isaac.

The IGI has precisely nothing for any Isaac Sandoe.

For Stephen Sandoe marriages, it has these, all too early:

1. STEPHEN SANDOE - International Genealogical Index
Gender: Male Marriage: 29 SEP 1688 Redruth, Cornwall, England
2. STEPHEN SANDOE - International Genealogical Index
Gender: Male Marriage: 11 NOV 1738 Redruth, Cornwall, England
3. STEPHEN SANDOE - International Genealogical Index
Gender: Male Marriage: 16 SEP 1749 Saint Agnes Near Truro, Cornwall, England


FreeBMD has your Isaac's marriage to Sarah Swayne in 1863, and that is the only record it has for that name -- birth, marriage or death.


From 1857 to 1863, there are two births for the name Emma Caroline in Cornwall:

Births Sep 1857
Woodford Emma Caroline St.Germans 5c 40

Births Mar 1860
COCK Emma Caroline Liskeard 5c 63

St Germans is also associated with Liskeard / Bodmin / Callington etc. in my family.

I don't see a death shortly after for the Cock birth ... and I don't see that Emma Caroline Cock in the 1861 census, or the 1871 census (Emma or Caroline). No marriage or death record for that specific name.

So I'm wondering whether she is your Emma Caroline. My theory being, of course, that your Emma Caroline was born to a woman to whom Isaac Sandoe was not married, probably while he was at sea, so she would have been registered in her mother's name.

The thing about Sir John George Bice --

After someone at the Devon Family History Society discussion board found me the baptism of Francis Hoare Hill, my grx2 grfather, in 1819 in Tamerton Foliott, someone else went looking for him in the Archives, and found:

ESTATE ADMINISTRATION
MINING AND INDUSTRY
TIN AND COPPER
St. Austell: setts
Menagwins
FILE [no title] - ref. CN/1997 - date: 1859
Thos. Tristram Spry Carlyon of Tregrehan, esq., to Francis Hoare Hill of Finsbury, Mddx., and Sam. Sandoe Bice of St. Blazey, mine agent.


After they moved to Australia, son John George Bice (later Sir) became a blacksmith and then a farm machinery manufacturer. My gr-grfather Ernest, son of Francis Hoare Hill, who had changed his name to Ernest Monck at that point, was in Australia from 1887 to the early 1890s, and is described on his son's birth certificate as "Case dealer". I thought it unlikely he was a Case farm machinery dealer, until I discovered the Bice connection. It may be that he emigrated to Australia because of the Bice connection. But I think it more likely that "case dealer" meant wholesaler.

So that's my Sandoe connection, for what it's worth! Did I already say? - you can read some of the Hill/Monck tale here:

http://genesreunited.co.uk/boards.asp?wci=thread&tk=976217
"Ernest Monck - Australia sojourn c 1885-1895"

and also here:

http://genesreunited.co.uk/boards.asp?wci=thread&tk=954394
"JohnRogersCheshire/MaryEmmaHill 1860s-descendants"

I've realized since I started playing here that Cornwall (and Devon) obviously had a tiny population compared to what most people here are interested in / where they hail from: Lancashire, Yorkshire, Lincolnshire, and of course the London area. Nobody wants to know about Cornwall and Devon!

And there is so much interconnectedness there, and also the connection of almost everybody there to the mines, that it can be interesting to look around the genealogy of the area. What kills me is that there are so many damned Hills in Cornwall and Devon, and nobody at GR seems to have any connection to mine!

The fun for me here, you see, is that nobody at GR ever wants to know anything about Cornwall, and it's one of my own areas of interest. Digging around in it might always produce something I want to know!

I'm not seeing any Margaret Sandoe of an age to be your Emma Caroline's sister. Is there any chance that Jane is that person?


We do have us a really old Margaret Sandoe though, of an age to be the grandmother of Isaac's generation, and with a name that obviously belongs in the family:

Name: Margret Sandoe
Age: 75
Estimated Birth Year: abt 1766
Where born: Cornwall, England
Civil Parish: St Agnes
Registration district: Truro
Sub-registration district: St Agnes

She has two sons on the page, both copper mine workers: George and James.

These could be entirely unrelated, but given that there are about 120 Sandoes in Cornwall in 1841, almost all in

Truro (Kenwyn, St Agnes, Kea, Philleigh, St Feock, Veryan)
Falmouth (Falmouth, Mylor)

they're obviously all connected.

There are a couple of strays in 1841.

Name: James Sandoe, Margery Sandoe, both aged 65 / born c1776
Where born: Cornwall, England
Civil Parish: Crowan
Registration district: Helston

Anthony Sandoe, aged 60 / born c1781

Name: Josoph Sandoe, aged 40, born c1801, + wife Margaret and kids
Where born: Cornwall, England
Civil Parish: Calstock
Registration district: Liskeard
Sub-registration district: Callington

-- whom I mention because Callington is where my gr-grfather Hill(Monck) was born, and where his father's business partner Samuel Sandoe Bice hails from

Name: John Sandoe, aged 10, born c1831, living with a William Copplestone
Where born: Cornwall, England
Civil Parish: St Winnow
Registration district: Bodmin
Sub-registration district: Lanlivery

-- Bodmin and Liskeard are interchangable in my Hills' view, as far as where they named as place of birth

Barring mistranscriptions, which there undoubtedly are, the only other Sandoes are:

2 households in Middlesex
1 household in Buckinghamshire
1 household in Nottinghamshire
1 couple in Buckinghamshire

Most of the non-Cornwall households have members not born in county, making them likely Cornwall natives.


No Stephens, and no Isaacs.
