Her father was William Smith (Mariner) and i have the whole family of William Smith but no mother for Sarah ? I have checked all sorts of records, but there are so many Sarah Smith's in that period it is almost impossible to to find which is her. Every avenue i have ventured into has come to a dead end. Sarah was living with her fathers parents in the 1861 census, Page and Hannah/Mary Smith; so i assume William was at sea at that time, no trace of Sarah's mother though. As for the marriage certificate for William, same problem, hundreds of William Smith's and no date or anything else to go by, although i have searched many, many records. Sarah was my G/Granmother (maternal) and apparently quite religious, Page Smith, her grandfather was a Sexton in the Parish of Sunderland. Can anybody help at all? Thank You, Norman.
