Can anyone help please. I have very little to go on except that I know my GGG Grandmother was called SARAH she was born in Ireland in 1832 she married ? Fletcher (I don't have his Christian name). In 1857 I know that they were in Barbados as their daughter Frances H Fletcher was born there but as I don't know Frances's fathers Christian name and Sarah's surname I cant get Frances's birth certificate. I know that in 1881 she was living in Gillingham Kent, UK but she is widowed. I am going round in circles. Can anyone help

Private User and Private User and Terry Jackson (Switzer), do any of you have any suggestions? I'm hopeless with Ireland, the Islands, and England/UK.

I will have a look this evening but result is not guaranteed as there WaS no civil registration in Ireland till 1864 . Did they marry in Barbados?

I have found frances' marriage cert of which it lists her father as daniel but cant find anything else to do with him or a marriage cert for him and sarah or a connection to barbados. On frances' birth cert it says daniel is paymaster-police ?

A Sarah Woods married a Fletcher in 1852 county Tyrone
A Sarah Greer married a Fletcher in 1851 county Tyrone
A Sarah Magee married a Fletcher in 1853 County Antrim
And a Sarah Graham married a Fletcher in 1849 county Antrim, this Sarah would have been 17 .

But none of them maried a Daniel

So her father was a paymaster based in Barbados, maybe we can find out more about this, I will get back to you

Maybe it was Daniel, we just need to find the record :)
I will check all the above Sarahs and see if one of them was born in or around 1832.

I am tearing with you Beverley Morgan :)
If it says on every record she was born in Barbados then we can probably go by that. I see what I can find there.
A lot of people from now Northern Ireland went to Barbados, but in earlier years
