Another KEAR !! (reply)

Hello,

Yes, Sanna Kear b. 1885 was indeed the wife of Charles Marshall. Sanna and her sisters Mary Ann (Annie)and Frances emigrated to Toronto, Canada in the early 1900's, probably after the death of father Caleb in 1912. They were aunts of my grandmother Annie, who came to Canada in 1927 with one of them (Frances, I think) on a boat to Halifax. Sanna died in 1962, Frances in 1958, and Mary Ann (Annie) in 1978.

Thanks for that Slowhands. There's plenty for me on that link to get to grips with. So Sannabia married Charles Marshall.... I wonder if the Sannabia name will keep going.
Regards
Anne

Hi Slowhands
I have found a Sannabia Kear born 1885 in Castleford. Her parents were Caleb Kear born 1845 Whitecroft and Mary Ann James born 1849 West Dean. In the 1891 census Caleb was running a beerhouse in Castleford and with him, among others, were his mother Edith and daughter Sannabia (Ancestry has transcribed it as Sana Cora!) Edith is yet another of Charlotte's sisters born abt 1823.
I'd not found Sannabia's marriage before...wonder which one she married!
Surely there can't be any more Sannabia's?!
Regards
Anne

Sannabia / Sennabiah PHIPPS 1843 Whitecroft (reply)

Hi Slowhands
You found the marriage of Sannabia Cook to Henry Taylor in Monmouth Jun q 1881. They moved to Castleford, Yorkshire and that is the Sannabia on the 1891 census. I have since found out that there is a connection between the 2 Sannabia's.
Sannabia Phipps/Mortimore/Cornock was the daughter of Charlotte Phipps (nee Kear) The other Sannabia is the daughter of Charlotte's sister Ophelia.
I have also found out that Sannabia's daughter Annie Mortimore was a witness to my Great Grandfather Elijah's marriage.
Alas, still searching for Sannabia Phipps/Mortimore/Cornock birth and death records.
If I was able to visit the Forest of Dean, where might I look for records bearing in mind that she was born in Whitecroft?
Regards
Anne

Thanks to you both for your replies. I'd spotted the Sabina birth on FreeBMD but still not sure about that one. I didn't know she existed until I found her on the censuses last week. Her youngest brother Elijah William Phipps is my GGrandfather and I do know he was baptised as a Methodist.Its a shame he's not around to ask!
Regards, Anne

certainly looks like a Sannabia in the census images- they are a Methodist family perhaps this is why the 1843 entry in Monmouth BMD ( for Whitecroft) is elusive.

In 1891 there are two Sannabia's one on Glos, one in Yorks, both born Whitecroft !

this looks like her second marriage
