Having successfully traced many relatives on my Granfathers side of the family I have hit a brick wall trying to trace my Grandmothers side.She was Sarah Jane Elliott and was born in County Durham around 1892.She married a Herbert Pratt of North Stainley nr Ripon North Yorkshire.I would also be grateful for any information as to her parents names or any other relatives.I have looked in the census for the relevant years bur I cannot be certain I have found the correct family.

Do you have her marriage certificate please?

A marriage cert should give you her fathers name

The marriage certificate will give her father's name and occupation which may help you to identify her on census records

There is one that stands out in the 1911, but to be 100% sure you need to send for her birth cert or marriage cert, as you seem to have the correct details to do so.
