Re: Bower - Sadler Ancestry
Hi!
Apparently Samuel was 60 when Frederick was born, 1851 or 1852, so at 1859 when he died he would have been 68 or 69 thereabouts. If you found references of Samuel working in Lincolnshire in 1818 (year or two before Annie was born) and the last in 1946, would you assume that they went to London after that. I think I will send for that cert. Will stipulate that I am looking for Samuel Bower and not Sadler that way if it is wrong they will not send it. Will do that on Monday and let you when it arrives. That will put us out of our misery on that one!!! But then when you think about it, people in those days had children early in their marriage and this does not tie in with the ages of the children does it? As the first one was about 1848 or 1849
Our Samuel is a hard nut to crack, don't you think? Possibly he could have been married before. I did a little search today, no luck!
Regarding George S. Yes I so think that is he in the 1901 census..his wife Sarah is husbandless at the butchers shop in Buntingford. Sleaford is the registration district of Heckington. *"George was a buyer of cattle, also a keen judge, and his services were always in request at Hertfordshire and London shows"*. hence staying at the hotel where the cattle market was, which I believe was a large one around.
*that was a quote from the obituary of I have of George.
It also mentioned that his father Samuel was responsible of the laying out of walks in Windsor Park.
Why he put his birthplace as Sleaford is a mystery!
Where would Samuel has been in 1846?
I cannot even find the birth entries of his daughters or Frederick. I thought it would have said on the marriage cert, but it only said on one 'minor' and the other 'full'
George is the only one I have and it is 1856 so we know that is right.
