Something not quite right.. That occ of William's in 1869?

This may be the 1861 with a different wife.

Don't think that the right marriage for the 1851 couple.

There are quite a few Sarah Raven's who died in Witham but I think this one fits.....

We've been around the houses a bit but I think, (hope), we've answered the original question.

 

[horse]

OK, thanks..

Geoff

 

[solidrock2]

The only problem I see is Williams occupation but I myself would'nt worry to much about that he may of been an architect for a short time or just lied. Started as an agri. lab but I don't think that was his job at the arsenal, they made bombs.

Thanks, Keith.. Dunno, still a niggle, be interesting to see what the original poster has to say.

I need to read through these when I'm not quite so tired because there are a lot of Ravens flapping about!

I was having trouble with the occupation, because William Raven seemed to flit from being a farm labourer, to an architect, to a gardener, to a baker!

I definitely had Walter down as a sibling, so we certainly agree there, and I had a feeling, from my own research, that Sarah may have died not long after Emily was born and that William remarried, which would allow Maria Raven into it, too. But I'd have to refer back to my notes for that.
