I cannot find this person in 1851 on Ancestry.......but The Genealogist has the image as clear as day.......That's the second time I've found that happening, so can someone else please try Ancestry?

Thanks.

Sarah TAYLOR age 72 (born 1779) Bristol, unmarried.

She is at 22 Stokes Croft, Bristol St James.

I'd like to think I'm not going blind......lol

pmsl!! How dare you find her when I looked for ages! Does the Genealogist give you any piece number or other ref?

Oh, you mean Sarah Faylor lol (on Ancestry)

What is it with your (OH's) family? Why do they always chuck you a little snippet but not makes things clear?

I presume this is the visitor from 1851

Name: Harriett Desprez
Year of Registration: 1865
Quarter of Registration: Jul-Aug-Sep
District: Clifton
County: Gloucestershire
Volume: 6a
Page: 46

Got any spare Harriets?

Got a few Harriets.......lol......just checking who the heck she is now.

Have you seen how many Sarah Taylors die in the Bristol area between 1851 and 1861??? I WANT that will but I'll have to mortgage the house to buy the death certs to get the right one.....lol

Was there a will for Sarah then? I thought there was only a Bristol will for her mum? (1850?). Maybe I didn't look because I didn't know when she died!

How old is Maria Allen on that census page? (the 'other' visitor)

HarrysMum · #7 09-09-10, 10:45

Philip Soulbieu DESPREZ married Harriet Ann Boulton LEWIS Bristol Dec 1837.

Cor I hope she's just a friend......lol.....the census doesn't say she related...just visitor.

Sounds a bit of a toff though, doesn't she???? lol

Looks like 47 and married. Born Dorset.

Harriet is widowed.

Sorry...no will for Sarah on the Bristol wills page. Don't suppose she married after Mummy died ???

Maybe, but probably not!

Erm, should we be informing all the readers of this thread what you are on about? (or what I am! lol)
