Hi Jim Well! Why on earth can I not have a more ' distinctive' name to work with? I had always thought that they married before then because Elizabeth/Sarah was listed as Shaw in 1891, maybe not though? |

Nell, No I don't, I even tried looking for a marriage using Elizabeth/Sarah Mayall, the only Arthur I can find is in Mossley with an Ellen Mayall and a Sarah Ann age 7 months, living as boarders, |

That's one I found, but wasn't sure of. There seem to have been a few Mayall families around. I was just thinking that maybe Elizabeth/Sarah and James didn't marry at all, or married later - possibly Elizabeth/Sarah's 1st husband was still around somewhere. In that case the children might have been registered as Mayall (though I couldn't find them either on Freebmd, but they might be on 1837online). It was quite possible for couples to pretend to be married on the census. Alternatively - and I've obviously been watching too many far-fetched films, perhaps Sarah and Elizabeth were twin sisters, one good and one bad and the bad one bumped off the good one!!!! nell |
