I am new to the list and am looking for information on a family named SANSOM. The father was John b. abt. 1820 - 25 (estimated from daughters birth). The daughter is Mary Jane b. abt. 1852. On the 1891 & 1901 census her birthplace is stated as Essex Harwick. John is listed as a licenced victualleur on Mary Janes marriage certificate in 1875. Mary Jane married LAPPAGE, George in Woolwich Kent. A sister Rebecca attented the birth of Mary Jane's first child and there may be a brother Isaac although we think he may have been John's brother and not his son. We have located this SANSOM family in the 1871 census: 56 Leaze, Bromham SANSOM John head 54 Builder Wiltshire Bromham SANSOM Eliza wife 52 Wiltshire Bromham SANSOM Rebecca daughter 11 Scholar Wiltshire Bromham SANSOM Henry son 9 Scholar Wiltshire Bromham SANSOM Kate daughter 7 Scholar Wiltshire Bromham SELF Alfred relative 5 Scholar Wiltshire Bromham Our Mary Jane has been the biggest brick wall of our research. Would sks be able to look up the family in an earlier census or parrish records to see if perhaps there was a daughter Mary Jane.Any help or suggestions at this point will be greatly appreciated.
