Sarah Rachel Snowden (Sargent)

Today is the 150th birthday of Rachel Sargent my generation's Great Grandmother. I have attached her birth record, which is difficult to read as the original has been water damaged. It is the center record.

Date: April 11, 1870

Name: Sarah Rachel

Sex: F

Father: William Snowden

Mother: Sarah Middlestaff

Father's Occupation: Carpenter

Registrant & Location: Sarah M Snowden, Hamilton

Rachel was born in Hamilton, Ontario to William and Celia Snowden, the 5th child and 3rd daughter but first child to be born in Canada.

I wonder what she would have thought of Facebook?
