Thread: Sarah Gigham - Enigma!!

In 1869, John Gigham age 25 (born 1844), married Sarah A. ? age 21 (born abt 1847), on the 1871 census, they have a 1 year old daughter.,



In 1876, a Sarah Gigham age 22 (born abt 1859), married Frank Parkinson age 24 (born abt 1857), according to 1881 census, they hav a 3 year old son William and a 10 month old son Harry.



My head (in a spin) tells me I'm looking at 2 different Sarah's or 1 "Shady Lady"!!



I've been to Wakefield archives and Registry office too, the puzzle is seemingley complicated beyond my thinking, is there a Magician out there who can wave an abra cadabra wand and help, please!!



Kind Regards,
