I previously posted this (http://www.british-genealogy.com/forums/showthread.php?t=34848) under "Specific Look Ups" but I thought it might help to post a slightly revised request under Northamptonshire.
I am looking for the birth record of my G-G-grandmother, Sarah Ann CHOWN. I believe her date of birth was 9 Jan 1827, but that is from a handwritten family document without a source citation. However, 1827 is consistent with her age at death (95) 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). I have searched the IGI with no luck. Please note that I have already found all census references to her as well as her marriage and death certificates. I am only missing an official record of her birth.
