Invisible Father

Post by Fatman »

Antie M - very kindly looked up this marriage for me:

20 Sept 1852, All Saints, West Bromwich - By Banns
William Hall, 34, B, Labourer, of West Bromwich, Father William Hall, Labourer
Sarah Pritchard, 29, Widow, of West Bromwich, Father Matthew Porter
Witnesses : James Cashmore and Mary Hayward


  1. Cant find them on the 1861 census after their marriage
  2. Cant find Sarah in 1851 before the marriage
  3. Cant find William in 1851 before the marriage

No relevant births on famlysearch (There is one with Benjamin Hall as father)

Think this is Sarahs previous marriage:

Marriages Dec 1847
PRITCHARD John Stafford 17 191


Any help on my unknownss please?

Marriage of Matthew Porter to Ann Trundley 8.4.1822 Gayton Staffs.

Do you have Sarah in any later Census when she is Married to Wm? Wonder what happened to the children she had with John Pritchard :?:

Matthew aged 62 and Ann aged 64 are still in Saltheath Salt and Enson in 1861, Matthew is still a Saltmaker and they both give their place of birth as Sandon.
