No, it is Lavender. All the births check out with MMN as Dundee says. Wonder if Sarah Davidson had married before? Dinner calls will check in later.

Sarah Jane Lavender
Born: Abt 1879, Sunderland, Durham
Marriage (1): Unknown
Marriage (2): Andrew Neil between Apr and Jun 1901 in Gateshead, Durham 4852
Died: Between Jul and Sep 1919, Tynemouth, Northumberland
Buried: 1919, Church Bank Cemetery, Wallsend, Tyne & Wear
6 children - 5 still living in 1911
Noted events in her life were:
• Census: Bishopwearmouth, Durham, 1881.
• Census: Gateshead, Durham, 1891.
• Census: Wallsend, Northumberland, 1911.
Sarah next married Andrew Neil, son of Alfred Neil and Maria Lavender, between Apr and Jun 1901 in Gateshead, Durham. (Andrew Neil was born on 5 Dec 1879 in Wyke, Yorkshire, England,died between Apr and Jun 1919 in Tynemouth, Northumberland and was buried in 1919 in Church Bank Cemetery, Wallsend, Tyne & Wear 4855.)
This is the details I can find on Sarah lavender in the Wallsend area, but the 1881 census of William and Sarah states she was born Hampshire area.
It’s all so confusing! I’m wondering if I have a mix of two different Sarah’s children??

It gives her 1891 census place of birth as Southampton looking at the image rather than the transcription.
These are rather Strange:
1861 Census Portsea, Hampshire

Martha A Seager 23

But no-one has altered the names on the 1881 now living Bishopwearmouth,
Durham Sarah is missing but if this is 'our' Sarah then she would be married by then.

Edit: I haven't found a Lavender/Thompson marriage but I suppose it could be they never married. It happens. Martha- mother stays as Lavender to her death no Seager.Last edited by Pam Downes; 19-12-2018 at 12:15 AM. Reason: Direct links to commercial site removed as per our T&Cs.

Ooh your good!! I would never have found all this!!
It’s now looking a good possibility. Bringing the family from the correct birth area to north east.
There is a marriage record for a William Henry Thompson in June quarter in Newcastle 1881 but can’t find the wife’s to match but possible if they did marry?

England Marriages, 1538–1973
Name: William Henry Thompson
Spouse's Name: Sarah Davidson
Event Date: 27 Feb 1881
Event Place: St. Johns, Newcastle-Upon-Tyne, Northumberland, England
I cannot see a church marriage for William and Sarah Lavender in 1883 so possibly a Register Office Wedding.
Personally I would buy a one of the children's birth certificates as the mother would be named as Sarah Thompson formerly Lavender, + father's name and occupation, address of where born and address of the informant.
Thompson, William Henry mmn Lavender
GRO Reference:
1879 M Quarter in NEWCASTLE-ON-TYNE
Volume 10B Page 122
Buying the marriage certificate as in post #16 is equally important as it will show their father's names and their occupations. Witnesses can be very helpful too.
You can go horribly wrong if you don't buy the certificates for your direct ancestors.
I assume you have got this far having seen your parents/grandparents marriage certificates etc.
Let us know how you get on.Last edited by katarzyna; 19-12-2018 at 11:29 AM. Reason: additional info

Yes I think your quite right on purchasing a certificate. Think it’s the only way to get a positive conformation.
Yes I’ve had concrete evidence of other grandparents. I’ve had to purchase birth certs just to get great grandparents names on one line as no living relatives knew anything about them.
It’s not the easiest hobby to take up but well worth the patience and time.
I will let you know the outcome once I have the certificates x

Marriage certificate arrived for great great grandparents

William Henry Thompson 39 Widower
Boiler maker
Grainger street
Father William Thompson (deceased). Engineer
And....
Sarah Davison 44 spinster

Father Robert Davison.
Watchmaker
So....: solved the mystery of Sarah’s surname! But looks like there was another wife... ����
