Re: MISSING: ANN FARMER b 18/02/1832.....Help needed please
Thank you Sue...I just wish the ages were given for the 1859 deaths...trouble is there is an Edward/Ann Smallwood on the 1851 (elderly) & no sight of them on the 1861 so perhaps the deaths relate to them...I have found a death for an...

I am still busy collecting info on this family...I now know that Sarah "Jane" & Joseph married at St James the less, Ashted, 19/10/1868 & 2 of their sons were baptised there in 1870. As she was so young I have also considered that she died...
Re: Where oh where is JANE after the 1861 Census ?
Having checked the 1861 census for Joseph Buckerfield he is living in Lawley Street with his parents, so the Minchins & Buckerfields were neighbours !! But I will still send for the marriage certificate to be really sure.
Margaret.
