    3. Greeting, Norm! I think you are right about Ann Christian. I have located the baptism register for her as well as her siblings and her parents' marriage. Sarah EDWARDS seems likely to have been the daughter of Robert EDWARDS and Kezia LAWSON who married 1 Jul 1805 Long Bennington I could not find Sarah's baptism, although I found several others born to this couple in Long Bennington all around her birth year. Sarah married first Richard ARMSTRONG, 15 May 1826, Long Bennington. He was the son of James and Mary ARMSTRONG, baptized 20 Nov 1804 Long Bennington. Sarah and Richard had at least 4 children together and the surname appears as HARMSTON and HARMSTONE as well as ARMSTRONG. The three HARMSTONE children on the 1841 census with Jacob and Sarah (Edwards) CHRISTIAN are her children from the first marriage. Richard was buried 1 Apr 1838 Long Bennington under the name HARMSTONE in the PRs. You have the information for Sarah's second marriage to Jacob CHRISTIAN and Ann's baptism. Ann CHRISTIAN married first Edward Ashton SANDALL 25 May 1865 Morton by Bourne. He was the son of John SANDALL and Hannah ASTON/ASHTON/HASTON - this last is the name on her baptism register - who married 29 May 1838 Morton By Bourne. Hannah was the daughter of John Ashton and Elizabeth Hubbard, married 11 Dec 1815 Morton By Bourne, and was baptized 14 Jul 1818. John SANDALL was the son of John and Sarah SANDALL. I have no information on them, but son John was baptized 5 Jan 1818 Morton By Bourne. It was fun finding John and Hannah on adjacent pages! Edward SANDALL was baptized 7 Jul 1844 and was buried 15 April 1870. Edward and Ann had no children other than Keziah that I can find. These two marriages are on Free Reg. There is a John Ashton on the page opposite Edward's burial entry who died at age 79 in Morton. I think he was probably Edward's grandfatehr, but am not at all certain. I had a look at the US census returns for 1900 and 1910 as well as the 1920 entry and the Cumberworths reported a different date each time - 1882 on the 1900, 1888 on the 1910, and 1879 on the 1920. I cannot find an entry record for them. Maybe I just haven't gotten far enough outside my box but that's not a common name. Maybe they entered the US from Canada? The 1881 census, shows they had 6 children in England before leaving for the US - 5 daughters and a son. Hope that helps some! have a great day, Susan Reynolds Kentucky USA
