    I only assumed James was alive as on most marriage docs if the father is deceased it usually has that added. Ive come across a lot of them where a son or daughter is getting married, they list the dad but it has deceased entered. Yeah I can get the making up of a name, it could be even her mum...

    Lynn in an effort to try and find more info on Sabina do you think the inquest report would give any more information about her and if so, would you be willing to get this for me when you go to the archives. John Mayes death reg attachment posted up days ago gives the name of the Birmingham...

    A minor was considered under 21 Usually a minor was under 21. A marriage age of 15 in 1847 - Realistic or not? Marriages were legal for girls as young as 12, and boys as young as 14, until 1929 when the marriage age was raised to 16. However parental consent was required for the marriage to be...

    Been doing some thinking about Sabina - She could be Irish as has been mentioned before. Could she have been adopted, perhaps name change or could James Snell have been a stepdad? She comes from Birmingham if the records are correct. James was alive in 1860. Thomas Mayes was still living in...

    So Elizabeth Easter was Margaret's sister? So theres a clear link but lack of record as you said. Its similar with Robert maisey, as you said about the other maisey children being born in Norfolk but no record linking him back to James or Elizabeth sims.

    Okay a summary of what I think I've found today. Thomas had 8 children. Four with Sabina - Matilda, Eliza, Robert and John. He had further children, so half siblings to the above with Eliza Morton - Robert Morton Mayes - I think Robert died in 1950. I found a 1939 census for Robert Mayes and...

    Thats really helpful thank you. I was going to do a summary of what i have found so far but will keep that seperate. In 1851 hes down as fish dealer when married to Mary Ann Mills. Ive only got the 1851 census so far for him. So is it possible his first wife died. And thanks for the kids...
