I return to something I have asked about before although not for some while. The couple mentioned were my husband's gt.gt. grandparents. I started looking at them again to see if I could unravel the family legend about John's antecedents. However, I see from my notes that another family member suggested that Sarah was originally BROUGHTON. If so she might well be the Sarah Broughton whose Christening on 26.Sept. 1773 in Hawksworth is an extracted record on the IGI. This would match the births of most of John and Sarah's children in Hawksworth between 1800 and 1814 or later (I have no birth dates for two children). My problem is that I can find no sign of a marriage. Hawksworth is covered by Phillimore, but there is no suitable listing. Nor is there in the version that I have of Notts FHS Marriages. As far as I know the new Marriages disk isn't out yet. Has anyone come across a marriage between John and Sarah, possibly in the years just before 1800 in Hawksworth or a nearby parish? I know people didn't necessarily marry before the first child, or at all, but one has to start somewhere. Best wishes Alice Clarke

Hi Alice   I'm afraid we need to know a little bit more   Is your John and Sarah on the 1841 census, who are their children, are the children on the 1841/1851 census and If so where they born? They could have been baptised In Newark, Nottingham or any other local town, but I suspect Newark. Have you got a birth certificate or marriage certificate for any of their off springs? It could help.
