HATTON Family - Ruardean (General)

Hello Jim,

Thanks for your reply.

Not sure I can work out which is my Sarah!

Thinking out loud here.....

Looking at ages if we take the census as being correct then Sarah with parents Robert Hatton and Ankarett is the most likely candidate as her age on census most closely matches with her baptism date of 1779 ie 60 in 1841 and 70 in 1851.

I wonder if both Sarah's were having illegitimate children, there are possibly 5 born to a Sarah Hatton. I thought this seemed quite a lot for one person so perhaps both Sarah's were mothers.

Again, taking age at face value, the burial of a Sarah Hatton, age 69 in 1851 is probably the Sarah Hatton with parents Thomas and Mary born 1782.

I had though the fact that Caroline Lloyd (nee Hatton) daughter of Richard Hatton and Sarah was a witness on Jane Hatton's marriage certificate probably meant that Richard and Sarah were brother and sister, parents Thomas and Mary.

I suppose until I know which Sarah is the mother of Jane Hatton I am stuck.

Mmmm... I used to be uncertain .....but now I am not so sure!!
