Personal Notes:
Sarah's birth was registered in the Sept 1843 quarter in the Daventry district.In the 1851 census at Long Buckby, all recorded as born Long Buckby, Northamptonshire:
William Chater 44 head, ag lab
Elizabeth Chater 42 wife [actually born Barby]
George Chater 13 son
Elizabeth Chater 11 dau
Susan Chater 9 dau
Sarah Chater 7 dau
Jesse Chater 5 son
William Chater 2 son.
In the 1861 census at High St, Long Buckby, Northants:
William Chater 54 head, ag lab, Long Buckby
Elizabeth Chater 51 wife, Barby
Elizabeth Chater 21 dau, house servant, Long Buckby
William Chater 12 son, Long Buckby
Alice Chater 8 dau, Long Buckby
Lucy Chater 7 dau, Long Buckby.
In the 1861 census Sarah Chater unmarried aged 17 was a servant living with the Sawbridge family (drapers) at Coventry, Warwickshire.
On 4 May 1865 Sarah Chater, spinster of Long Buckby (LB), father William Chater a labourer; married Edward (sic) Crisp, bachelor of LB, shoemaker, father Joseph Crisp a labourer. The witnesses were Jonathan Crisp (his brother) and Susan Chater (her sister). Sarah signed with a X. The marriage was by banns.
The family emigrated to Australia in 1873.
The Crisps lived at Woodstock, near Townsville, Gympie and Esk.
Sarah taught tailoring to her niece Mary Ann Peters for a year or so not long before Sarah died in 1903, when they lived at Woodstock near Townsville. Sarah kept the Gatehouse for the Railway. This was probably some sort of compensation for Sarah, whose husband Edmund Crisp had been killed at work on the railways in 1899.
According to the Qld death index, Sarah's parents were William Chater and Ann Rinch. Whoever registered her death has confused Sarah’s mother with her husband's mother.
A website of Townsville monumental inscriptions has the following entry:
Surname: Crisp nee Chater
First names: Edmund [should read Sarah]
Born: ca 1843 at: Long Buckby, Northantshire, UK
Died: 1 May 1903 at: Townsville, QLD
Age: 60 Buried: Westend Pioneer cemetery
Headstone reads: SARAH CRISP Who died 1st May 1903 aged 58 years. After a long and painful illness. "For I reckon, that the sufferings of this present time, are not worthy to be compared with the glory which shall be revealed in us."
Edmund Crisp's siblings and parents had emigrated to Parry Sound, Ontario, Canada in 1871.

This public tree has about 60,100 people. Every person in the tree is related by birth or marriage to at least one other person in the tree - no strays. The people in the tree come mainly from four projects.
  1. My family tree. The original project begun about 1998. ID numbers less than about 6,000
  2. Canberra and Queanbeyan Pioneers. The next 30,000 begun about 2004. Sourced almost entirely from HAGSOC's excellent 'Biographical Register of Canberra and Queanbeyan'. The project began when I decided to add siblings, spouses and parents for a relation with an entry in the Register. 12 years work.
  3. Wagga Pioneers. I moved to Wagga and thought I would extend the Queanbeyan project by adding people from Wagga Wagga & District Family History Society's 'Pioneers of Wagga Wagga and District'. About 10,300 people added over about a year.
  4. Tumut Valley Pioneers. During the COVID-19 pandemic of 2020, I decided to extend the above projects by adding pioneers of the Tumut Valley. Initial sources were Snowden's 'Pioneers of the Tumut Valley' and 'Relict of ... Lives of Pioneering Women of Tumut and District'. Excellent references published by Tumut Family History Group. I've also added material from newspapers of the time - especially, death records, obituaries and weddings from 'Tumut and Adelong Times'. This project is in its early stage and might take a few years. I plan to extend to the upper Monaro (Adaminaby, Kiandra, Cooma, Jindabyne).
I upload new information to this website about every 3 months. My motivation for these projects is to provide public information for people seeking to trace ancestors and what became of them. Much of the information I provide can be difficult to find.
If you find errors - anything incorrect (dates, places, wrong parents, wrong children), and you have evidence, I would love to fix them. Or, if you have information that would extend my projects, do not hestiate to contact me on the email link below. I do not publish information on living people - which means I'm not much interested in people born after about 1920, and I usually distrust material from before about 1770 without extremely good sources.
