Hello crankypants,

Thank you very much.

I think I have found Sarah's baptism record:
c. 25 Jul 1802 Melksham, Wiltshire, England
Father: Richard Bulgin Mother: Catherine

and a possible death too:
Deaths Mar 1879
Stowe Sarah 72 Melksham 5a 87

It seems to fit with Cathrine as one of the daughter's names.

I've just found this after seeing Worton:
Robert STOW c. 1 Oct 1797 Potterne, Wiltshire, England
Thomas & Sarah

Worton is 1.5 miles from Potterne.

Thomas STOW c. 25 Jun 1826 Independent, Melksham, Wiltshire, England - Robert & Sarah

Please if you can find Robert & Sarah in 1861. I have no rough date yet for Robert's death.

Thanks.

Dave

Hello crankypants,

Thank you. That looks like the right family.

I can't see a death for Robert between 1851 & 1861 in Wiltshire.

Please see if you can find Sarah in 1871. Perhaps that death in 1879 in Wiltshire is not her.

Thanks.

Dave

Hello crankypants,



It looks like Emma and Kate but I can't find the marriage.

Hello crankypants,

Brother Thomas and family are also in London:

1871
4 Paultons Terrace, Chelsea South, London, England
Enumeration District: 5, Page: 10
Thomas Stowe....head...37...Melksham, Wiltshire....wood cutting machinist
Anna S Stowe......wife...31...Leiston, Suffolk
Alfred O Stowe.....son.....7...Theberton, Suffolk.......scholar
Annie E Stowe.....dau.....5....Sligo, Ireland..............scholar
Francis E Stowe...son.....4....Sligo, Ireland
Emma M Stowe....dau.....1....Sligo, Ireland


That should be Emma S (=Sewell) not Anna.
