On Family Search i came across a wedding of Joseph Beard - Sarah Sidaway 08 November 1795 Old Swinford,Worcestershire (batch nr M0427-1
and then a burial of Joseph Beard spouse Sarah Sidaway on the same day 08 November 1795 batch nr 104839-8
Is this the same person?

You think it might be this one, Rob?

There are 2 Ancestry trees with this:
NAME: Joseph Beard
BIRTH: Bef 11 Mar 1770 - Worcestershire, England
Baptism: 11 Mar 1770 Oldswinford, Stourbridge, Worcestershire, England IGI Batch Number C040272
MARRIAGE: 08 Nov 1795 (8 Nov 1795) - Oldswinford, Worcestershire, England (Age: 25) IGI Batch Number M040271
PARENTS: Thomas Beard, Sarah Pardoe
SPOUSE: Sarah Sidaway

But I can't see any other verification.

Perhaps it might be worth getting touch with the tree owner's?

I contacted the owners of the trees involved and they seem to be of the opinion that either the burial of Joseph Beard spouse of Sarah Sidaway was a different person or it was a mistake.
Hmmm....

Thanks Farside.Could the report of his death on the same day have been a misprint?

Yes, looks like a trans error on familysearch, I don't see a burial for Joseph (8th Nov 1795) on the disc, I also checked a couple of years forward.

Thanks again Farside.
You know i can't fathom Family Search out!!
I have numerous children geing christened in Old Swinford during a period from 1795 to 1813 all with parents Joseph and Sarah Beard from the same IGI number.
How do you know for certain who are from the same family?
I see on Ancestry some people have assumed they are brothers and sisters but how do you know ?

You don't know, Rob, unless there is also the maiden name of the mother (and even that isn't sure if it's a common name).
We need to look for other evidence - census, wills and such.

Rob I will add in this marriage and bapt as a poss

then are you done with this thread?

I suppose so.Thanks for all the help so far Farside DianeL and NL xx
