  • Marriage Date Stephen Oswin

    I've come up the dreaded brick wall in my search for an answer to the above.

    Stephen Oswin was born in Coventry 1799/1800 and was baptized on 25 Jan 1800. His father was Charles Oswin & his mother Sarah Thorneloe. His first child, Elizabeth Oswin, was born in 1829.I can find no reference to the date of his marriage, his wife's name is Sophia, unfortunately I have no surname, and she appears on the census returns for 1841 & 1851. Stephen is listed on the 1871 census as a widower so Sophia died sometime between 1851 & 1871; I have no census for 1861.

    Any help would be appreciated.

      Thanks Cath

      At least that confirms Sophia's death

        Free BMD shows several Oswin births in Coventry from 1838. It may be worth picking a child from the 1841 census and getting their birth cert. to find Sophia's maiden name. (That's presuming any of the ones on free BMD tally with he names on the census!)

                  You said you didn't have him in 1861. From familysearch, using FMP:

                  Name Stephen Oswin
                  County Warwickshire
                  Event Type Census
                  Event Date 1861
                  Sub-District 2 Holy Trinity
                  Parish The Holy Trinity
                  Ecclesiastical Parish Worcester
                  Registration District Coventry
                  Gender Male
                  Age 61
                  Relationship to Head of Household Head
                  Birthplace Coventry, Warwickshire
                  Schedule Type Household

                  Oops - Phil already there. Cath's suggestion of getting birth record for any of the children is the soundest way forward in absence of marriage record (though you'd want both really)

                    Poss. first marriage for Stephen?

                    Name Stephen Oswin
                    Spouse's Name Mary Naul
                    Event Date 03 Feb 1818
                    Event Place Saint Michael,Coventry,Warwick,England

                    Though this may be a different Stephen per births.

                      hmmmn I have looked on Familysearch and I can see most of their children's baptisms and some of their marriages, but not the parents' I wonder if there is a Philimores marriage index for Coventry? I do agree though that the best option to find Sophia's maiden name would be to purchase one of the children's birth certificates which would confirm the maiden name.

                        oooh where did you find that Bertie? Familysearch? that may well explain why one for Sophia can't be found.. if he was already married!

                              There were 2 Stephen Oswins born close together that "fit" 2 marriages:

                              Name Stephen Oswin
                              Gender Male
                              Christening Date 23 Jan 1797
                              Christening Place SAINT MICHAEL,COVENTRY,WARWICK,ENGLAND
                              Father's Name Benjamin Oswin
                              Mother's Name Mary

                              Name Stephen Oswin
                              Gender Male
                              Christening Date 25 Jan 1800
                              Christening Place SAINT MICHAEL,COVENTRY,WARWICK,ENGLAND
                              Father's Name Charles Oswin
                              Mother's Name Sarah

                              What is strange though that while there are many OSWIN marriages in Warwickshire there are very few marriages of a Stephen to a Sophia and none at the right time or with a name that is even close to OSWIN and no Stephen OSWIN marriage to a Sophia anywhere in England.

                              SO did they in fact marry or are there marriage places in Coventry not covered by any online source?
