    Default Sarah Ann Woods from Colchester

    Hi - I would be grateful if anyone could find Sarah Ann Woods maiden name. The Sarah Ann I'm after was born in Colchester, Essex about 1831-32 and married William Woods (b.1836, Colchester). They wed in 1859 in Colchester and had four children. I thought that her maiden name might be a Potter, Summers or Sherman but maybe not. She may have died in 1872 in Colchester.



    Any help would be great!

    I have looked through the Marriage Index for 1859 and there is only one William Woods married in Colchester Dec quarter 4a 480.



    I then looked on the Free BMD and found the same marriage but the wife is either Priscilla Beals or Louiza Johnson.



    Do you think the have the correct marriage year?

    Hi Teresa



    I'm not 100% I have the correct marriage year. Their first child (William Woods Jr) was born in 1860. Another three children came along and one of them is my descendant Rosanna Woods born 1870 in Colchester. I'm sorry that I don't have anything further to go on.

    I'm not having a lot of luck I'm afraid.



    I cannot find a likely marriage in Colchester but have found these -



    Sarah Grayling/William Woods married Ongar Essex 1858 September 4a 72



    Sarah Brocker/William Woods married Maldon Essex 1858 March 4a 191



    Good luck with your search - Teresa

    I think you will have to send for Rosanna's Birth Certificate which will give her mother's maiden name, then at least you will know for sure Sarah's maiden name.
