Hi MWS. It’s possible but very difficult to confirm as obviously no marriage certificates in that period and no corroborating evidence, eg witnesses etc. I think the first 3 are possible (Perry/Parkes/Jewkes) but can find no death of a Sarah with those surnames that are the right age. Thought...

Thanks for your reply. That Sarah was born to Silas & Jane. My GGG grandparents were definitely Thomas & Mary. Mary died in 1866 aged 93, I have the death certificate. Maiden name unknown although a Thomas Guest married a Mary Whitehouse in Harborne in 1796. My GG grandfather was called Joseph...

I’m trying to find out what happened to Sarah Guest/Geast, baptised at St Thomas - Dudley on 2 Sep 1798. I can find no detail of marriage or death. She was the daughter of my great great great grandparents Thomas Guest & Mary ???? Many thanks

Thanks so much. It looks a possibility that the mother died whilst delivering the child as both deaths were in 1893.

Do you have any information on the 2 daughters shown in 1911. From what I can deduce so far my grandfather’s first marriage might have been to Emily Dora Hendley who died in 1901 and I’ve found reference to a Jessie M Guest. My father said he had 3 elder stepsister’s but he never mentioned their...

That means the information I was given is incorrect. My father had little information about his father other than he was married before his marriage to my grandmother (Florence West) in 1918 and that he shared my birthday of 20th March. My father also had some recollection that he may have been...

I believe this Joseph Guest born in 1840 was my great grandfather. The son born in 1867/68 was my grandfather who I never met as he died before I was born. I believe he was married twice and it was his second marriage to Florence West in 1918 that produced my father George Joseph Guest in 1919...
