[mikeflan]

Hi...I have been trying for an age to get a thread on this my gt gt gran..sarah coxson (bn c1819) married william taylor(braizer)bn c 1817, hopefully st martins as they were in that parish in 1841..no children at that date so one imagines they had just got wed...his father was same name and same job title...they lived in Sherlock St 1841........ no records found at all only census 1841....just wondered if Central Library has these church records....as I am a long way from Brum now...it becomes very difficult to trace...many thanks for any help at all....mike

Hi Mike I have looked through the St Martins registers without any luck sorry.

 

[mikeflan]

Wendy....thank you so much....that was very kind of you....now I have to rethink where on earth she may have come from or where they may have got married.....my very sincere thanks......I see you are at Tamworth....Ah.....happy days of my trainspotting in the mid 1950's....Mike

A Richard Taylor married a Kate Coxson in the next generation. Richard's father married at St. Peters & St. Pauls, Aston. Could that be the family church?

Thanks for that.....I know there was a family of Coxsons in Aston and right by where my Taylors went to live in New Summer St...I made contact with someone two years ago that had that family in her line but my Sarah wasn't apparently in their line..there was also a family in Sherlock St near to where they lived in 1841......and of course the spellings got twisted a bit with Coxon & Coxson......also our Taylors never had any Richards in.....so I know that marriage you have mentioned wasn't my Taylors......but your input has been great and you never know what it may lead to...many thanks for that

Many thanks for that....which has thrown something into the fan...........as they lived in Sherlock St. 1841 census.....as Mr & Mrs...with his father and mother next door !!!! Coo !!!! and they reckoned the 1960's were permissive !!!!!!!!!! no wonder I couldn't find their marriage c1839

They lived in New Summer St .1851 with children aged 9-5-3 and 2 months..... goodness

Mikeflan,myself and other researchers can tell you that'the good old days'were just as permissive as modern times.

Many many couples lived together all their lives without marriage and many married after living together for years.

I have seen records of so many children born out of wedlock that then went on to take the name of the man their mother married that it sometimes makes a mockery of 'family tree'. Who knows who their ancestors really were?

I have done a couple of searches on this forum where the wife becomes a widow(for record purposes) when in fact the husband has gone to another part of the country and started another family with another woman(one marrying bigamously)

I think it was only Queen Victoria who believed everything was perfect during her reign.

Yes...I've found a few skeletons too....but never expected it on this one....but just as you said there....I've found a few conveniently changed titles......which makes things ...inconvenient for the researching !!! but thanks again...I've sent for the certificate of this to see where that puts me !!!!!!
