Sarah Report 29 May 2011 09:32

I am trying to trace the wife of William Thatcher, born 1817 in Abingdon, Berkshire. Her name was Sarah, who was a seamstress on the 1881 census. Does anyone know her maiden name? I have searched and cannot find it. Thank you

Apologies, Sarah appears on the 1861 census as a seamstress, not the 1881 census

well I have been through every marriage of a Sarah in Berkshire between the likely dates - over 1,500 of them, and no sign of a Sara marrying a Thatcher!!
