If someone would be so kind...I don't have an Ancestry sub at the mo (but am considering a month's worth as I suddenly seem to need it urgently again!)
I am looking to find in 1841
Sampson Goldstraw, born about 1824 in Staffordshire (Cheddleton possibly) with a father called Reuben who is a mason.
I would like Sampson to have a mother called Elizabeth and a sister called Ellen if at all possible, lol.
Sampson Goldstraw married Rachel Wood in 1846. Ellen Goldstraw married Isaac Wood in 1847 and I am trying to see if these two couples are related in any way.
Thankyou in advance.

OC - Will this one do?:
Sampson Goldstraw living in Cheddleton, Staffs, aged 17, Tailor Ap, living with William Bettang, 20, Tailor I, and Thomas Rushton, 16, Tailor Ap. All born in Staffs.
There is also another Sampson Goldstraw [transcribed as Goldstrom), aged 18, living in Cheddleton, born Staffs, he is a MS living with a Ephraim Wilshaw who is a Farmer.
Ref: HO107; Piece 1003; Book: 16; Civil Parish: Cheddleton; County: Staffordshire; Enumeration District: 12; Folio: 7; Page: 8; Line: 5
The Sampson who is a Tailor is living next to a Benjamin Wood, Publican, who has an Isaac Wood, aged 17, Gardener living with him.

Thankyou Sabrina!
Oh dear, I was going to say that Sampson the MS was more likely but my Isaac Wood wa first a gardener then a farmer!
Who would have thought there would be TWO Sampson Goldstraws!!! (Me, I would!)
Ah, just noticed, MY Sampson is described as a labourer at his marriage in 1846, so definitely not the tailor's app. I absolutely bet the two Sampsons are related though. Grrr.
Thanks again.

There are actually quite a lot of Goldstraws in Cheddleton parish, but I can't see a Reuben at the moment, unfortunately. :(

LOL! The IGI has at least four Sampson Goldstraws born within 5 years of each other and all with different parents.
Looks as if they went in for Moonie-style weddings too, as there are three of them marrying on the same page in 1846!
And I thought this would be so simple with such unusual names......
Thanks anyway Sabrina. I will shelve this now until I get a month's sub and try to untangle them all.

You're welcome - looks like they liked biblical names too! Good luck with sorting them!
