In May 1861 I have arelative, John Newman marrying Sarah Crane a widow at St Thomas inStepney. His father is given as Richard Newman a carpenter, andSarah's father is given as John Newman.
John Newman's father isindeed Richard Newman and the family came from Eltisley inCambridgeshire. But I am confused about Sarah's father.
In the 1861 census Johnand Sarah Newman are living at West Ham and their family consists of
John aged 31 acarpenter of Bourn Cambs
Sarah is 36 also ofCambs
Henry Newman son aged14 a rivetter of Bourn
Joshua Newman son aged12 also of Bourn
and a nephew AlfredNewman aged 2
Going back to the 1851census I found a Sarah Crane living with husband William Crane inHntingdon
It shows Sarah ashaving come from Bourn Cambs
They have childrenWilliam Crane aged 9, Henry Crane aged 3 and Joshua Crane aged 1.
These last two boys tiein with the next census and her marriage to John Newman
On FamilySearch I foundanother marriage for for John Newman and Sarah Crane in January 1853at Bourn – their Fathers were given as John Newman for the groomand Edward Crane for the bride. Nothing is mentioned about their marital status.
Now I am reallyconfused, and really need help to sort out the marriages.
Was this Sarah marriedthree times? 1.William Crane 2.John Newman 3.John Newman
or was there anotherSarah Crane?
Help would be muchappreciated please.
