Help with Ancestor Sarah Ann Kirkham from Nottingham
I have a Sarah Ann Kirkham born 1835 in Nottingham. I know she married Thomas Chapl(a)in and had serveral Children. However, I can not find any marriage between them. It is possible that Sarah Kirkham married William Barnes in Sep 1849 and remarried John Thomas Chapl(a)in in Dec 1850. I can find a death for William Barnes in Dec 1849. What I don't know is this true. How can I find out?
I have a census for 1881 with Sarah as head, I understand that Thomas died before 1881, but do not know when.
I can not find a census for 1871 for Sarah or her children.
The childrens names are Joseph 1857, William ?? 1861, Thomas 1863 and Rebecca 1865. All the children I can find births for as Chaplain buy not for William only one I can find is Chaplin and registered in Radford where others are Nottingham.
Incidentally I can not find anything for Sarah Kirkham or Thomas Chapl(a)in for census 1861, 1851 or 1841.
Can anybody help me out here.
Is this your Sarah Chapl(a)in in 1871 looks like she was born abt 1828 not 1835

The best thing to do would be to purchase the marriage for Sarah Barnes & John Thomas Chaplin, it should tell you if Sarah was a widow and if her maiden name was Kirkham
Marriages Dec 1850 (>99%)
Barnes Sarah Nottingham 15 1142
Chaplin John Thomas Nottingham 15 1142
and then one of the children's birth certificates to verify
here is Sarah Elizabeth's details
Births Mar 1859 (>99%)
CHAPLIN Sarah Elizabeth Radford 7b 174
