Maternal grandmother: Sarah Savil (born 11 Jun 1796 Bardfield or Little Saling, Essex) View NotesHide notes

Birth date now confirmed (although a month different) from microfiche at CRO which also gives her parents as Waite Savil and Mary. She is also mentioned on internet forums by Janet Pritchard. See http://genealogy.ainslie.org.uk/gbview.asp.

Marriage is on IGI and the Essex Marriage Registers at CRO, vol 54 Bardfield Saling - although the date is slightly different. The register notes she signs Savill. Oddly, I could not find this on microfiche.
