Can anyone give me an age at death of Sarah Ann Broomfield who died in Sunderland in 1854

The only certain way is to buy the cert.

This is the only Sarah Broomfield on the 1851 census in Sunderland. No way of telling if its the same person.

The Sarah Ann you have brought up is the one I know about but she went on to marry, I was just wondering about this death

The age will be on the cert . For that time it isn't shown as part of the GRO ref I,m afraid

There's a tree on Ancestry that has the 1831 Sarah and she definitely didn't die in 1854. She married Robert Hedley Brown and was still having children in 1873.

Margee's Sarah Ann above was a widow by 1891. The 1881 and 1891 were both for the same address and Joseph was an Iron Moulder. In 1901 she was a grocer 'on her own account' Eleanor, James and Walter were still living at home. Here is 1891

TS, I was just trying to show that the Sarah born 1831 was not the one who died in 1854.

I have just returned home and was amazed to find all these extra posts since visiting my mam
Yes the Sarah Ann Broomfield who married Joseph Drummond (who died in 1884) was my g/g/grandparents. I was trying to find if the Sarah Ann who died in 1854 was any relation to my Sarah but as suggested I would need a death cert for any further info and according to margee above she is not the one born 1831.
Thanks again all, sorry for late acknowledgements.

Here's the death in question, from the GRO index
Deaths Sep 1854 (>99%)
Broomfield Sarah Ann Sunderland 10a 278

I checked the local online index at:
http://www.sunderland.gov.uk/index.aspx?articleid=1399

Here's that hit, plus some other example hits

Surname Forename Year Index Number
BROOMFIELD Sarah 1854 M12/469

ANDERSON Ellen 1858 HE9/128

It's clear to me that the leading letters in the local index ref refer to subdistricts in Sunderland RD and Houghton-le-Spring RD.

Here's those subdistricts used for the census in 1861:
SUNDERLAND RD RG9
North Bishop Wearmouth 3765-3770
South Bishop Wearmouth 3771-3776
East Sunderland 3777-3778
West Sunderland 3779-3780
Monk Wearmouth 3781-3784

HOUGHTON LE SPRING RD RG9
Houghton Le Spring 3752-3754
Hetton le Hole 3755-3757


So, Sarah Broomfield died in the Monk Wearmouth subdistrict, if that helps any.

Thanks for that mgnv, as all my Broomfields are from the Bishopwearmouth side of Sunderland its possibly a different famly

All of Durham is covered by online local indexes, although their coverage is incomplete.
None of them have info that's not in the GRO index, beyond the local ref (except S Tyneside gives the exact date of marrs).
However, all these marr refs have an entry # as the last item of the ref, so one can tell who wed whom just by clicking on a link - it's the + sign for Sunderland.
[NB Sometimes one finds a page # as the last item - this is more common on B/Ds - I haven't checked what offices use what item, but B/D regos have 100 pages & 500 entries]
Just like one has to guess the subdistrict code on B/Ds, one has to guess the church code on Ms (except S Tyneside gives a decoder for its Ms:
http://www.southtyneside.info/article/10778/Marriage-indexes )
[NB For Durham RD, one has to check the postal application form to see the local ref.]

Re guessing the church code, one usually finds synagogues usually have a J or S in the code; Quakers (or Friends) usually have a Q or F in the code; C of E often have a C in the code, and the registrar usually has an R in his code.

Here's some Durham examples:
Births Dec 1845 (>99%)
Benson William Durham 24 84

Using http://www.ukbmd.org.uk/local_bmd as a gateway to online local indexes:
Birth certificate for:
Name: BENSON, William
Year: 1845
Register No. - Entry No. - District
SN 12 entry 138
So I guess this subdistrict is St Nicholas in Durham RD - his censuses all show his pob=Coxhoe (or they would if they were transcribed accurately)


Marriage certificate for:
Name: ANDERSON, Elizabeth
Year: 1875
Other index entries for this marriage:
ROSE, Samuel
Register No. - Entry No. - District
DCCE22/3 entry 470

Now I happen to know DCCE22 is St Helen, Kelloe - it's where Wm Benson was baptized and his baptismal entry shows his mum's maiden surname - I found this in the Durham BTs at:
https://familysearch.org/search/collection/1309819

However, the FS hits I'm going to give were all found at:
https://familysearch.org/search/collection/1473015

Sometimes, it's necessary to do a catalog search at FS for the film # - here it shows:

Marriage certificate for:
Name: REILLY, Catharine
Year: 1875
Other index entries for this marriage: HARRISON, Thomas
Register No. - Entry No. - District
DNRLAN8 entry 39

My guess is this is the Lanchester registrar's own register, but this doesn't necesssarily mean it was a rego office marr.

Pre-1899, only C of E (C of W in Wales), jews and quakers (and the registrar) were authorized to keep official marr rego's.
If a non-conformist marr took place, then the registrar would have to attend so the marr could be completed by the couple signing his official register.
Post-1898, non-conformists (except RCs until the 1980s) could be authorized to keep official marr rego's, although the proces might take a couple of years.
The lack of an official marr rego doesn't stop the church from keeping its own private rego, which would be later deposited in some archive, and might have the same info as an official entry (course, it could have less, or more, info)

Here's an RC exanple:
