Heya all

im trying to find a birth certificate for a Sarah Stanton, say's on the 1861 census she was born: 1841 Westbramwick, Staffordshire, England, (Which district would i look at? )
On her Marriage cert which was 9 April 1860 it says she was a (minor) and her husband was John Williamson (Full age). Now im thinking that Minor means under the age of 18yrs and full is over 18yrs would that be correct ?

Her father was James Stanton (engineer) and they were resident in Dudley according to the marriage cert, witnesess where a Ellen-Maria Taylor (which im persuming is her sister) As i have found a census in 1851 with both a Sarah, Ellen-maria with father Thomas Stanton.

Thanks Diane

Sorry cid it does say west Bormwich,.

and im thinking that is the family that Jimmy found, Thanks i could not find them in 1841 but you have

Another question is on the 1871 census for Sarah is place where born is Smethwick, Staffordshire, is that any where near Dudley? as i think i may have narrowed her birth to 1842

Diane

well it aint a million miles away but you have to go thru Langley Oldbury first
or I do from Dudley to Smethwick
have a look at the map

Diane, Harborne covered a large area, parts of Smethwick came under Harborne as did parts of West Bromwich, so you are probably talking about the same place. The reference on the Marriage Certificate to Dudley, was more than likely a rouse so they could marry there. Re-reading your Post, I think that is what you meant, that Sarah and John Married in Dudley
