Hi, I wondered if I could basically use a fresh brain to see if I may be on the right track? I posted a few weeks back about Sarah Pashley and narrowing her birth down because she's a brick wall that I've had for years. I had no luck narrowing a birth but upon trying to find other Pashley's in the Durham area I found a Mary Pashley/Parshley who married in the same church 6 years before her. Is it a possibility Mary could be Sarah's sister? My main connection for thinking so is the Surname, unknown birth for Sarah, and the fact that Sarah's husband William was also in the Paper Mill trade.
