Robert Pantland born 1804 married Sarah Williams but had five children before they finally married 1st May 1845 at Hackney,
Robert died 14th October 1846,
Do you think that he married Sarah to legitimize the childrens births because they knew he was dying?.

Hi Joe
I don't know. Perhaps he had been married before and was waiting for wife number one to die before he could re-marry??
Have you found any bapitism for the kiddies at all?
Sarah 8, John 7,Elzbth 5, Jane 2 in 1841 census.
Both Sarah & Robt are 35 in census, yes their ages could have been rounded up.
Good luck, I'm sure the folk here will find some more info for you.

Not unless he could see into the future.
Marrying the mother of a bastard made no difference to their status until the Legitimacy Act, 1926.

Hi Joe,
Are you sure that Sarah Pantland on 1841 census is Sarah Williams? Robert Pantlands' children are born from about 1833. It is possible that Robert Pantland married twice, both times to a Sarah and Sarah Williams was his second wife? A birth certificate would prove this, it would need to be Jane's or a later child as she was the only one born after 1837.

Jeeb, I did wonder about that. However on the parish register it says he is a bachelor (not conclusive I admit).
Interestingly, they give different addresses (bearing in mind that they've had 4 or 5 kids together and were shown together on the 1841 census). Also neither address on the 1845 marriage is the one they were at in 1841. It could almost makes me think they are different people, but it's not exactly a common name and there are no other obvious signs of two different couples.
