Hi,
I am looking for any more info about John Keatley and Sarah Willmore who married at St Martins, 14 Dec 1813. I hope there might be a parent or witness name which would be a clue to Sarahs family.
Thankyou
Ro

Thankyou Alberta and Shera for your replies so quickly!

This is great info, it puts John and Sarah in Hurst Street as early as 1820s, I have found them there in 1841-51. I am trying to connect Sarah to the Willmores who built the back to back houses there in early 1800, Joseph, brother John and later on, George the jeweller, (who may have been a son of John, brother of Sarah).

On IGI there are a number of entries for Sarah Willmore, one christened 19 January 1785 and the other 22 April 1785, so seems could be 2 different girls? Would it be possible to check these 2 records please?

Thanks again
Ro
 
hi, ive checked those two christenings at st. martins

they are both correct, sarah daughter of john and sarah willmore, but im afraid that is all the info that was recorded at that time.
 
Hi Shera
Thanks for checking anyway. At least I now know that Phebe, the marriage witness, was (most likely) Sarahs sister, her parents were also John and Sarah.
Cheers
Ro
