My ancester Sarah Ann Bailey was born in Orsett around 1850 and i want to trace her parents. On the census i found her living with her grandfather WILLIAM BAILEY but never with her parents. I ordered 2 birth certificates that i though it could be, one was definatley wrong whilst the other gave the mother as EMMA BAILEY and Father as Unknown. William Bailey had a daughter called Emma so this is possible. I also ordered Sarah's wedding certificate and the father named on it was WILLIAM BAILEY. The grandfather WILLIAM also had a son called WILLIAM. Confused yet??!! The second william would have only been 14 when Sarah was born. I think that perhaps her mother was EMMA BAILEY and she gave her grandfathers name as her father on the wedding certificate as her bought her up. Is this a logical theory?
