04 September 1852 - Windsor and Eton Express - Windsor, Berkshire

Uxbridge
Henry Roberson was charged by his stepmother, Sarah Roberson with threatening to do her some bodily injury, and applying some distasteful epithets towards her. She went in fear of her life from the violent conduct of the defendant, as he had more than once threatened to kill her.
The charge was withdrawn on the defendant promising not to repeat the offence.

malyon ...............

I think that Sarah is wrong

First, there is no marriage for a Richard Carter to a Sarah in Middlesex between 1851 and 1861.

Second, there were 2 marriages for a Richard and a Sarah between 1841 and 1851.

This is, I think, the same couple that you found, but in 1851 ............ when Sarah Dell was with George Roberson.

Richard was a Labourer in 1861

Wel, that's a new one on me. Haven't seen that site before. :-)

(lol, wonderful thing, google search!)

Chris :)

t hank you so much for all your hard work I would love to know more about John Dell and Debtors Prison, would there be a record I wonder. Both John and wife Sarah died in their early 40s from consumption, I have the death certificates, I know they were very poor/
interested to see that son John in 1851 was livng with a family named Meade..his grandmother (mother of Sarah) was Sarah Meade. (too many Sarahs) so this family may have been his cousins.
My grandmother Clara talked a lot about her mother Sarah Dell (the illegitimate daughter of Sarah Dell Roberson) but she never mentioned her grandmother which makes me think that she never knew her
so I have a lot to think aboutnow.
I apologise if there are a lot of typos here, Ive just had cataract surgery!
once again thank you very much, I am very grateful to you
Best wishes,
Maureen
