Re: Thomas Scriven and Family - Sedgley
Thanks MG - I had seen those on Ancestry but couldn't make a connection.
I have now looked at baptisms for the children and it looks like their mother was Mary.
There is a death registered in 1837 for Mary Scriven
I have found a marriage in Wolverhampton for Thomas Scriven to Sarah Timmins in 1845.
I thought Sarah was maybe married before, but the marriage records her as a spinster (no father's name)
I've had a look at a couple of Ancestry trees, and they have no 1841 or 1861 census either.
Hate it when I can't find one census let alone two
