Seems Sarah died 1871 - 1881 but ages at death don't fit.

John Parker's age at death is given as 35.

Have you noticed that there is a discrepancy in the birth year? The birth ref you give has a birth year of 1839 yet in the 1871 Census she says she is 40 giving a birth year of 1831.

FreeREG is no help 1831 - 1839 or the 1856 marriage.

Probably not the 1839 one.

Marriages in 1858 and 1859 in RD Monmouth for a Sarah Beach.

I have not found where the middle name Force comes from.

Hugh Wallis - Hereford - none with middle name Force

re the 1874 marriage FS has one extra name which might explain why matching them has proved difficult.

Daniel Davis probably married one of the following people
Name John George Horton
Name John Arthur Iles
Name Sarah Parker
Name Charlotte Sydenham

or an error on FS

Marriages Sep 1874
BROUGH Alice Cheltenham 6a 748
Fryer Arthur Cheltenham 6a 748
Iles John Arthur Cheltenham 6a 748
Young Anne Elizabeth I Cheltenham 6a 748



I can't find a baptism or a Beach - Force marriage.

Dave this family keeps changing dates of birth as well as place of birth - so hard to track..

Cecilia Sarah Parker married 17 Oct 1891 St Pauls Church Kensington to William Matthew Poney age 23 a batchelor – gamekeeper – of Hertford – father Matthew Poney a gamekeeper, for Sarah – she was 28 a spinster of 18 Myrtle St – father John Parker deceased a Farmer – Witnesses Sarah Elizabeth Poney and Arthur Ward.

Cecilia died and buried 17 June 1893 St John The Baptist Hillingdon.

Kate Maud Parker b 1864 married Nathan John Shellard in July qtr 1883 Monmouth Vol 11a page 74 and died 14 June 1947 Essex – probate 2 Oct 147 London – administration to her son Francis Herbert Shellard a stockbroker – 1911 census has Kate as widow age 47 – had 5 children 3 living and also has POB as Monmouth when she was b Cheltenham..

Wonder if Frank John Parker joined the Royal Engineers in Aldershot on 1891 census – 1901 he’s still in Army at St Mary’s Barracks Gillingham Kent

There’s a marriage for a Frank John Parker in Jan qtr 1897 Birmingham to either a Ada Mills or Sarah Elizabeth Osborne

Thanks Val,

Re Frank - marriage in NSW

4483/1888 PARKER FRANK J - MOORE RHODA ELIZABETH - CENTRAL CUMBERLAND * 15 Feb 1888

Arrival not found.

I'm still trying to match the couples in the 1874 marriage and even find one of the marriages. Trying to rule in or out a remarriage for Sarah.

According to the 1861 Census she gives her pob as Whitchurch, herefordshire. I can only find one Sarah Beach born in Whitchurch, parents Benjamin and Srah and that was in 1827. Looking for a marriage for Benjamin and Sarah, it looks like her maiden name was Gunter. I was hoping it might be Force.

Thanks Emeltee.

Sarah F in the census. I've checked the notes in my tree and can't find how I believe it to be Force.

Ok, who planted that false memory? :biggrin:

A different angle.

Births Jun 1875
HORTON Walter John Cheltenham 6a 435 mmn PAGET
Births Dec 1877
HORTON Benjamin Adams Cheltenham 6a 441 mmn BREWER
Births Dec 1879
Horton Daisey Anne Cheltenham 6a 435 mmn BREWER

That did not help.

Found Sarah, John and baby Emily on 1861 census at 29 Landsdown Cresent - Cheltenham which is hard to read place of birth for Sarah – looks like ? ? Whitechurch and her age = 24 a housekeeper, for John his age is 29 b ? ? Prestbury and baby Emily Margaret age 2 b Cheltenham.

Emily Margaret’s baptism Aug 28 1859 – to John & Sarah at 29 Landsdown Cresent - John’s a farmer at St Mary’s Gloucestershire

Possible marriages for her James Frederick Garland or Frank Fowler Salmon 1887 Cheltenham
or she too could have come out to Oz - age is about right

Thanks Val.

DAVIS, HARRY - PARKER
1877 M Quarter in CHELTENHAM 06A 441

DAVIS, DANIEL - PARKER
1887 S Quarter in CHELTENHAM 06A 413

Can't find them in 1891.

If we can find the family and Sarah with her age and pob it will probably rule her out. That will leave us with no death for Sarah Parker.

I don't know if this helps with the age discrepancy, on the marriage certificate Sarah gives her age as 27. father William Beach.

Sarah did not remarry in 1874 to Daniel Davis, that Sarah was b 1845 father George Parker.

Hope this clears up some of your problems

Thanks Amanda.

With those four birth reg it made it even less likely that Sarah had remarried. Good that is sorted.

So we are stuck with no baptism and no death for Sarah.

No sign in FreeREG of the name FORCE in Herts or MON 1800 - 1830.

The nearest baptism I could find is this:

Name: Sarah Parker
Birth Date: 11 May 1828
Baptism Date: 30 Jul 1843
Parish: North Nibley, Gloucestershire, England
Father: William Parker
Mother: Deborah Parker

On Sarah's marriage William says he was a Farmer, on the baptism this William says he was a Gamekeeper....bit of a stretch I suppose :rolleyes:

Possible death:

Name: Sarah Parker
Estimated birth year: abt 1826
Registration Year: 1870
Registration Quarter: Jan-Feb-Mar
Registration district: Cheltenham
Volume: 6a
Page: 354

I say possible because there was a Sarah Parker b 1826 to an Arthur and Mary and I'm not sure if she married, and of course the birth is 1826.

The only other possible one is in 1891.
