Birth of Sarah Ann CHOWN

[bwintonc]

I am looking for the birth record of my G-G-grandmother, Sara Ann CHOWN. I believe her date of birth was 9 Jan 1827, but that is from a family document without a source citation. But 1827 is consistent with her age at death and with the 1881 & 1891 census records (her married name was JOHNSON). Place of birth is believed to be Kingsthorpe, Northamptonshire. She had an older brother, Joseph P. CHOWN, whose birth was recorded in a Methodist register but I couldn't find Sarah Ann in that same register. Based on her brother's entry, their parents were John CHOWN and Ann (or Anne) PARBURY (PARBERY/PARBERRY).

In the 1841 census Sarah Chown is shown as being 14 and living in High Street, Kingsthorpe with Martha Yates, 35. The reference is HO107; 810; book 5/22; page 9.

By the 1861 census she was married with five children, all born at Kingsthorpe, but now living in Northampton. Her husband John J Johnson (37) from Oundle was an upholsterer and Sarah (33) was a schoolmistress. The children were George J (9), William E (8), Eleanor E (6), Sarah A (4) and Mary F (2). The reference is RG09; 935; folio 82; page 35.

Thanks, Thomasin, for the census references, though I see that I should have mentioned in my original post that I have already found all the census references to Sarah Ann CHOWN JOHNSON, not just 1881 & 1891. Still looking for the birth register.
