    3. After a number of years researching I finally have proof that my great-grandmother Elizabeth Darrall (nee Martin) who married William Darrall on the 15th August 1866 (I have their marriage certificate) had a sister Sarah. Sarah was probably born around 1842 and it is likely that she, and her family, lived in Hollywell Lane, Dawley. By 1902, Sarah, now married to a Simeon FERREDAY, was living in Wellington, New Zealand and appears as an executor to William Darrall's Will. Upon William's death in 1908 Sarah and her husband (now poorly) were living apart in Chester, England. To locate the FERREDAY family I have searched the 1851 Dawley, 1841 Madeley and 1841 Wellington (Shropshire) census finally locating a family by the same name (but not Simeon - he was probably not born at this time) in the latter. They were living in Jarrett's Lane in 1841. Unfortunately, I don't readily have access to the later cencii for Wellington. I have four questions as follows:- (1) Does anyone have the FERREDAY name as part of their history? (2) Does Simon FERREDAY appear in later Wellington cencii and what was his job after his schooling? (3) Can anyone tell me when they married and where? (4) I am also interested in when they sailed from England to New Zealand (this could be an impossible question). Here's hoping!!
