Sarah Greathead formerly Brown late Taylor

I have tried hard this month to sort out my personal brickwall with my 2x great grandmother Sarah Brown I have a copy of her marriage certificate to William Greathead in 1852 where she was described as a spinster

On the birth certificate of her first son Thomas in 1853 she describes herself as Sarah Greathead formerly Brown On the birth certificate of her following sons Peter in 1855, William in 1858 and George in 1861 she describes herself as Sarah Greathead formerly Brown late Taylor
On the 1851 census Sarah can be found with her parents Peter and Isabella (née Baker) Brown and is listed as single. Had she married before this date and the family were covering up. Maybe it was a short marriage and her husband died?

I searched long and hard for a possible marriage of Sarah to a Mr Taylor. I found what may be the marriage on 18 December 1847. Sarah Brown aged 21 married James Taylor in Stanhope. Sarah's father was Peter Brown a labourer. The witnesses are not family members

I then searched for a possible death of James Taylor prior to 1851. I identified four candidates 1848/Q1 Darlington 24-36, 1849/Q3 Auckland 24-12, 1850/Q1 Auckland 24-7 or 1850/Q3 Houghton le Spring 24-115 and bought their death certificates.

None of these were the correct James Taylor. Anyone any ideas please?

Mary Greathead's daughter

Joan very kindly sent me several certificates and I am going through them slowly. The first is the marriage certificate of Mary's daughter Elizabeth. Together we are gradually unravelling the mysteries. Elizabeth married Donald William Stewart.

Robert and Sarah Greathead

Wow, I am very grateful to Jennifer for sending me a copy of the marriage certificate for Robert Greathead and Sarah Jane Ferris. We discovered that Sarah was a widow when she married Robert. I believe I may have discovered when she went to USA from her native Ireland. Why and when she returned we have yet to discover. We seem to be getting somewhere with her family, it is great working with someone so kind. I look forward to many more Emails. Shame her husband does not like Thai food. Hang on Jennifer I will be on the next plane I love Thai food!!

Edith Ada Greathead

I received a message from Paul who has given me details on Edith and Thomas's children. I still have queries on Kate and Ivy as at the moment I cannot find them on the GRO indexes. I will keep looking. Thanks Paul for your help

Unkown photographs

Got a very excited Email recently where a lady from Rhode Island recognised number 10 unknown photograph on my website. She in fact had a copy herself. Now I am communicating with both parties to see if we can now identify the men. How wonderful
