I have just discovered that my great great grandfather Thomas ROBERTS married Ann SAILWELL. I have copy of their marriage on 22nd May 1848. St Pauls church NEWLAND
I understand Ann was the only child of William and Sarah SAILWELL
Ann was orphaned after her father murdered her mother around 1829, when she was about three years old. I have a copy of baptism of Ann 15th August 1826, also at St Paul's church.
Who did Ann live with until old enough to marry my great great grandfather?
I have also recently gained copies of Gloucester Summer Assizes for May 1829 showing William SAILWELLalias SULLY conviction for murder.
