Sarah Bird (1792-1829)

Sarah Bird was baptised on 20th January 1792 in Tendring, Essex. Her parents names are currently unknown but can be determined from a view of her baptism record. The Bird family are well documented in Suffolk and it is likely that Sarah is connected to this family in some way.

Nothing is known of Sarah's early life at this stage.

1st Marriage
Sarah married John William Mills who had originated from Dedham in Essex. We do not have a record for the marriage at this stage, but due to the birth date of their first child, it is assumed to have occurred in Nayland, Suffolk in approximately 1823. John would have been approximately 33 years old at the time, which is considerably old for a first marriage of the period while Sarah was approximately 31 years of age.

John and Sarah would have 3 children together, William Munson, George, and Augustine Herbert. All were born in Nayland between 1824 and 1827.

Death
Sarah died when she was only 37 years old on the 31st August 1829 in Nayland, Suffolk. Her cause of death is unknown at this time, and she was buried in Nayland on 5/9/1829.
