Hello

I have found this record for Sarah Morgan/Sarah Turner on ancestry

London, England, Births and Baptisms, 1813-1906
Birth, Marriage & Death, including Parish
Name:
Mrs Sarah Turner
Father:
Isaac Benjamin Morgan
Mother:
Elizabeth Morgan
Baptism:
13 Feb 1854 - Camden Town All Saints, Middlesex, England
Birth:
abt 1854 - England

I dont understand why her baptism record has Morgan, but then the word Turner underneath which was the name she had when she married.
Did they put there married names on later?
Also the address is 2 pleasant row, all my Turners i have located are in Pleasant Row aswell does this mean they were neighbours?
Also there is a William Morgan underneath with the same parents.

Many thanks
Bev :-S

It looks as though she was baptised after she was married. Just looked at the original image and it gives her birth date as 9th November 1828. William born 1824 was baptised on the same day.

Mentions 9 Nov 1828 on the image so she must have been baptised after her marriage

Hello

thanks for the reply
, I wonder why that was my Sarah Morgan was born about 1825 in St Pancras so maybe this was done then after she married
, it looks like William i guess her brother was done at the same time.

thanks Bev

Just looking to see if i can see any children baptised with parents Benjamin and Sarah between 1822 and 1828.

this looks like her marriage ?

Marriages Dec 1851
Morgan Sarah S Pancras 1 351
Turner Joseph St Pancras 1 351
( among names on page )

I wonder whether there was a new vicar who insisted that parents be baptised before children could be for example ?

another explanation for late baptism is in contemplation of death, the brother of an ancestor of mine was baptised after marriage when it was clear ( I imagine ) that he was dying of tuberculosis as he did within a few weeks

I suspect that perhaps Sarah and William were children of that first marriage and had escaped baptism somehow ... while the others were children of the marriage to Elizabeth ... ?


Isaac and Elizabeth in 1851 in St Pancras in Pleasant Row

Isaac B Morgan 48 general dealer
Elizabeth Morgan 38
Joseph Morgan 6
George I Morgan 28
William Morgan 26

he is considerably older than her ...

I can't find them in 1841


edit here they are in St Pancras in Pleasant Row

Benjamin Morgan 35 green grocer
Elizabeth Morgan 25
George Morgan 15
William Morgan 13
Sarah Morgan 5 ?
Thomas Morgan 3

that's Sarah Beadle no ? :-)

it makes sense that Sarah was her child, named for her

then another child Sarah named for the first child, it does happen !

Sarah born 1828, William born 1824, to that marriage ... but Sarah reared by Elizabeth ... ?

I can't find Sarah (Morgan) and Joseph Turner in 1861 but this looks like them in 1871 in St Pancras ?

Joseph Turner 48 bird cage maker born Bridport Dorset
Sarah Turner 40 ditto born St Pancras
Alice Turner 19
Rosina Turner 16
Clara Turner 14
Joseph Turner 11 born Camden Town ( for 1861 census ? )
Henry Turner 5
George Turner 2


if so then baptism was not in contemplation of death ;)
