Wife Sarah Isabella bp.1821 Norfolk


Sarah was married under the christian name Isabella [ marriage 1845 NFK]

Thank you

Hi Chris

Had a good look around for Robert Henry and Sarah Isabella - but nothing yet I'm afraid - these Drake's of yours are brilliant at playing hide and seek aren't they???

Hi Geniegenie

Many thanks for looking , Im happy you found him in first place .

Hi Chris,

I haven't had any luck either yet. I was hoping he had also gone to the USA but not found any trace of him yet.

Many thanks Star , so that leaves how many countrys lol , seriously is possible he emigrated as you found one brother in usa, two went to South Africa .

cant find him on any census after marrige - just 1841.
poss death?

Firstly many thanks Welshlady for taking time too look , Because of the many Robert and Sarah born Norfolk i do realy need to find them on census first . Or if lucky abroad . He was never mentioned in his fathers will but neither was his other brother who was a miller Im not sure if its because they werent seaman, i have noted these deaths , Genie right they do like hiding .

Hi Bandit,

The miller was found ages ago. He emmigrated to the USA.
