Peacock Wedding help please

[lennon2011]

So I've got James Peacock married to Sarah with the following children in the 1891 census:
I have both James and Sarah aged 42 putting a birth year of 1849 but I can't find a marraige for them.
James was born in Stockton-on-tees, Durham and Sarah was born in Scaldwell, Northamptonshire.

I know it's the correct family as Thomas married Frances Dack who then had Charles Fredrick who married Majorie Bailey who had Nanna and her sister who shall not be named.

Do these look like possibilities :

1. James Peacock to Sarah Pape, Stockton Registration District, Q4 1871, 10a, 185
2. James Peacock to Sarah Corby, Stockton Registration District, Q1 1872, 10a, 91

James was single in 1871, and the first child was born about 1873, so either of those look possible.

There's no likely marriage in Northants, but in 1871, there's a Sarah Corby from Northants living in Stockton, so the 1872 marriage in Stockton is pretty certain to be the right one.

Have you bought the birth certificate for at least one of the children??

That would tell you Sarah's maiden name

[Jessbowbag]

you'd still need a bith cert to confirm


There is a Sarah Corby Born Scaldwell in 1849, living there in 1851.
Father Thomas, Mother sarah, sibs Joseph, Harriet, Robert, Jane,
Thomas and week old Francis

By 1861 they Have trotted off to Weston Favell, and Harriet appears to have married( Mutton) Sarah is still there age 12

If you find them in 1911, that will give you an approximate length of time for how long (they claim) they have been married.

Thanks for the help guys, I will be buying the birth certificate of Thomas since I know more about him. I have James parents and oddly enough they lived next door to their Son..

[Christine in Herts]

There appear to be no PAPE birth registrations in the period 1840-1860 in Northants, and most instances of PAPE births appear to be in the northern part of the country.

There is a Sarah CORBY birth reg in Brixworth (the relevant District) in 1849q1.

The My Roots Stockton-on-Tees BMD site doesn't seem to have the mmn included in their index yet - tho' there's a slot for it once it's done. And I should have said that, of the two possible women in the 1872 Stockton marriage, the My Roots at Stockton site matches Sarah CORBY with James PEACOCK.
