(née WILKINSON)

Thomas CROSS Sarah was his second wife. The marriage register shows him as widower. His first wife may have been Elizabeth TUDDENHAM. A marriage took place in St Edmund's Church, Downham in 1795. She was buried in Stow Bardolph in 1802. (Children: Mary 1798 &William 1801) Thomas evidently may not be Susanna's father.

Sarah WILKINSON was Thomas's second wife. I have yet to find her parents. There is a possible baptism for a Sarah daughter of William & Sarah WILKINSON in 1792 in St Margaret's.
