Sarah (Mrs Wells)
I am very unsure of a lot of the information I have on Sarah and her husband Evan.
Name - "official" name and what they were known as Sarah - (Unknown) Date and place of birth c 1781 in Oxfordshire Names of parents Unknown Date and place of baptism - if applicable Unknown Details of each of his or her marriages - if any c 1800 (in Oxfordshire probably) to Evan Wells Her husband was from Hook Norton Occupation(s) - if any None Addresses where they lived (including county if in UK) - and please list which censuses you have or haven't found him/her on (if s/he lived in census times!). Possibly her living with her son Thomas in 1841 in Bull Hill, Chadlington, Oxfordshire Date, place and cause of death Unknown - can't find her husbands death either Date and place of burial. Unknown Details of will / administration of their estate - if applicable Unknown Memorial inscription - if any Unknown Link to son: William Wells |
Would it be worth trying the local reg office to see if you can buy/eliminate this cert?
Deaths Mar 1847 Wells Sarah Chipping N 16 43 |
Chipping Norton is the right area BUT that death is on the NBI. It's a woman of 72 years old which would be a year of birth of 1775.
|
Was she a minor when she married then?

I can't find anything on her husband. You'd think Evan Wells would be a bit more distinctive in Oxfordshire given that it's usually a welsh name. He was born c 1783 in Hook Norton. I have his baptism in June 1783. |
In that case I think you should ask the registrar to examine the cert to see if that death belongs to the widow of Evan. I hope Evan's name hasn't be changed to John by some English vicar :( (or the registrar)

I've just realised from your last reply that I had mis-read your orignial post so when I said "was she a minor at marriage?" I wasn't meaning to sound sarcastic lol I thought she WAS married in 1800 and was hoping her being a minor was how you had plumped for a birth of about 1780!!

The family weren't welsh but the name Evan crops up a few times in the generations.
I don't know that Evan was dead as I'm not that certain that that was her in 1841. They just seems to fall off the planet. |
