These are children of John and Sarah, but obviously I don't know if they are the same John and Sarah!

Did you mean 1773? :D

Thanks so much Merry - that's great.

Yes, it looks like Hannah Pallett was probably their daughter - the age is right.

Must admit to a lump in the throat when I saw gx3 Sarah signed marriage with her mark.

First time I've come across one in my tree.

[catfordcrooner]

Sorry 1773 - William and Cythia

Why did it make you feel that way? Vast swathes of my tree is filled with people who couldn't sign their names! I was vaguely surprised when one popped up in the early 20thC, but not the ones before the education act came in (early 1870s?)

I know - I'm a soppy *** aren't I? Suppose it was just seeing it for the first time relating to something personal to me & thinking about ancestors
circumstances etc. That, and wishing I'd made more of my opportunities. Oh, damn now I'm getting morose!

[Merry]

Some people made their mark even when they could write. If the vicar assumed they wouldn't be literate and said "make your mark here" that is what they did!

Well, I never knew that - thanks, Merry!

In the interests of accuracy, I should add that Louisa on the 1851 census is the

wife of Richard Jnr,& not the daughter of Richard Snr. Sorry!
