Morning/afternoon/evening all! Investigation of a member of the family tree leads to the marriage of: "Arthur Trower, bachelor and Sarah Keet of the parish of Shere, spinster. Married by banns at Albury 1807." This is from Ancestry = parishes not in a borough>albury>1807. I found a possible baptism for Sarah Keet, which fits with her spouse Arthur Trower who is born about 1781/2 possibly Wisborough Green, Sussex Name: Sarah Keet Gender: Female Christening Date: 12 Jan 1782 Christening Place: FRIMLEY,SURREY,ENGLAND Father's Name: Henley Keet Mother's Name: Marey Indexing Project (Batch) Number: C03791-1 I would appreciate some help with the Keet/Trower family. TY, Wendy aka mrshuma
Sarah, wife of Arthur Trower, aged 30, was buried in Albury 29th September 1820 (Ancestry Surrey Church of England Burials). Arthur Trower (widower) remarried Bridget Sheehan (widow) on the 23rd November 1823 at Albury, Surrey (Ancestry Surrey Marriages). In the 1851 census of Albury (HO107/1594/369/10) Arthur Trower a 71 year old blacksmith is to be found with his wife, Bridget, aged 53, daughter Harriet aged 24, along with a Journeyman and a couple of Apprentices.
Looking through my Sussex marriage c.d.s there are many Trowell families in Wisborough Green,no real proof of any who may be Arthur's parents-dae wise. So far this is all I've found on him. Arthur Trower Role Apprentice Indenture or registration year 1795 Registration year 1795 Apprentice's first name(s) Arthur Apprentice's last name Trower Master's first name(s) Robert Master's last name Laker Master's occupation Blacksmith Master's place Wisborough Green Master's county Sussex ...... possible: Arthur Trower Birth year 1781 Death & burial year 1857 Age 76 Albury, Surrey Church ANGLICAN-ST PETER & ST PAUL odd that he is not visible in 1841 census unless a name mess up.

Hi Wendy! I think you might have found the correct Arthur Trower, albeit, no parents....but on the marriage of his daughter Mary (Frances Mary) on 29 Aug 1843 he is a blacksmith. Arthur doesn't necessarily 'have' to be born in Sussex, that's where his master resides. More research required on that one!! Wendy
via FMP Wendy. I looked on my c.d. for Sussex apprenticeships but it's indexed by location & I just didn't have the time to prowl through. Lost the faith a bit as the one item I bought it for was transcribed wrongly. The Transcriber did apologise but it didn't make the c.d. any more worth for me.
