Thank you Clare I see what you mean {A's} Like looking for a needle in a hay stack .I know some one who lives in Southwark !! I will write and see if they can get a look at parrish records.thank you for your help Jean

Iv'e just looked for you and their are an awful lot of Martin dieing under 5 in the south wark area so I think the only way you are likely to find out is to find the baptism records for the ones you do know about and look in the parish registers in the gap to see if their are any others baptised to the same parents.
Not sure where the southwark ones are held.

Suzy /Ivy I have got marriage cert for John/Sarah and it was their first marriage for both .it just seems a long time to go between births.Jean

Google..freebmd..it's free!!
Got to search...put in names and broad dates...process of elimination.

Suzanne

Ivy Im sorry i cant check ancestry as I dont own any credit cards.Jean.

Hi suzi,

that's true - Jean, you could look for a marriage of John and Sarah on FreeBMD between 1871 and 1878; also the family on 1871 to see if the wife's details still match - and if not, for the death of the first wife.

Logging off

Could be Sarah was second wife..hence age gap..!

Suzanne

Yes Ivy thats the family {my great grand parents} Jean.

If you have ancestry, you can look for deaths between 1871 and 1881, surname Martin, reg dist St Saviour Southwark; you can also specify that the birth must be between 1871 and 1881.

This technique can't be used before around 1865 since the age at death is not included in the index.

Try checking censuses for 1871 and 1881....where were the family living? Have you checked freebmd?
Find deaths of all siblings and see who registered them.
