Thread: Sales, Ilford, Essex

Hi i'm a newbie and was wondering if anyone can get me past the brickwall i have hit......I am looking for any information on Robert Sales b1814 , and Jane ? parents of Robert, Ann, William, Eliza, Alfred and James all born in Ilford, Essex. Registered on the census at Barking Essex. Any help would be greatly appreciated

Hi



Which census was it you found them on?

Hi



I am afraid I have been unable to move this on much further. I found them in1841 and 51, just as you said, but couldn't find a marriage. However I did find a record of a possible earlier child, also called Robert, who was buried 18 August 1833, aged 4, at St Mary the Virgin at Plaistow (which according to Google maps is 3.6 miles from Ilford). That would put the baby's birth about 1829. I did look also for a marriage, which if this first Robert was theirs - which seems likely - would push their marriage date earlier.



It might be worth tracking down the burial entry to confirm if this is them or not. It is possible that there are other entries for them in the church registers (if it is them). The local record office may also have a marriage index that would help track down the marriage. Sorry not to be more helpful.
