Hi Joe... Coventry.. June Q. 1881... 6d. 580 Thomas Wheatcroft = Hannah Gilbert. Possible ??? Best wishes Carole -----Original Message----- From: [email protected] [mailto:[email protected]]On Behalf Of Joe Connell Sent: 28 July 2010 08:15 To: [email protected] Subject: Re: [WAR] Whitcroft & Gilbert Parish records for Bedworth All Saints show that on 24 January 1892 Sarah Jane Gilbert married Samuel Whitcroft. The 1891 census record has Samuel and future bride Sarah Jane living in Mill Lane with his father Thomas Whitcroft. Hannah, the mother of future bride Sarah Jane is shown as wife to father Thomas. I'm attempting to understand this rather tangled situation and would welcome assistance from your more experienced members. Was it considered acceptable to marry a step sibling? I cannot locate a marriage record for Thomas Whitcroft [father of the groom ] and Hannah Gilbert [mother of the bride]. Also, in the 1901 census Samuel Whitcroft is shown living with wife Hannah [Ridgeway] - but again I can find no marriage record; nor a record of death for Sarah Jane. These are deep waters, Watson. -- Joe Connell Firefox & Thunderbird portals Sunbelt Vipre Premium protection List archives are at http://archiver.rootsweb.ancestry.com/th/index/WARWICK ------------------------------- To unsubscribe from the list, please send an email to [email protected] with the word 'unsubscribe' without the quotes in the subject and the body of the message
