![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() Sarah and Emily turned out to be the first of no less than nine daughters that Jane gave birth to over a period of about 18 years. Sadly Emily’s life was a very short one and she died the following year at the age of 15 months. It might well have been Jane’s second pregnancy that encouraged George to marry Jane, with baby Emily being born about six months after the wedding. Although named as Sarah Everex in the baptism register, Sarah appeared as Sarah Stickley in later documents which leads me to believe that George Stickley was her biological father. In 1860, when George was 21, he married Jane Everex who had been born in the nearby village of Long Wittenham, although her father was born in South Moreton and the family had moved back to the village by the time of the 1851 census.Ī year before the marriage Jane had given birth to a daughter, Sarah, who was christened at All Saints church in North Moreton. It was a large family with 11 children and their father Samuel Stickley worked as an agricultural labourer and in his later years as a publican. The family came from the village of North Moreton in Berkshire, where George was born in 1839. George Stickley was the brother of my great-great grandmother Elizabeth Stickley, making him my 3 x great uncle. ![]()
