Hello,
My Sands line comes from my Grandad. I have traced his mother's family back generations. But his father was about 25 years older than his mother, so I've struggled more with that side. His father's paternal line is Jewish, so that has proved very difficult to trace. And his mother's line - although English and C of E - ends in 1837 for me.
My Grandad's grandma was Mary Ann Sands, born 1849, St. Luke's, Middlesex. She married Benjamin Lipman in 1873, in Mile End, and died in East Ham, in 1936. Her parents were William Sands and Mary Thompson, who married in Clerkenwell in 1837 (just before civil registration began, frustratingly). William gives his birthplace as Manchester, around 1816 or 1817, and he died in St. Luke's in 1863. His wife (I believe) died in West Ham in 1869, where one of her children was living. She gives a year of birth as around 1817 too, in St. Luke's. I have never found a convincing baptism for either.
I would appreciate any information!
Adam
P.S. the family are mistranscribed as 'Sanits' in 1851 but are Sands in 1861. There were a couple of other children other than Mary Ann, but I forget the names.
