Yes, that's the one. Wondering if that's still her in the 1841 Census above, possibly living with an Aunt and Uncle.

This is the marriage I'm looking at for Thomas and Sarah. Awaiting Sarah Ann's birth certificate to confirm I'm on the right track.

Yes, Sue had that one. Baby Henry is hubby's Great-Grandfather. Unfortunately, William Johnson dies pre 1891 Census and Sarah Ann goes on to marry a Charles Hollinshead. Charles Hollinshead is hubby's 2xGreat-Grandfather via his daughter, Elizabeth who marries Henry Johnson in 1899. A rather complicated and confusing family on hubby's paternal grandmother's side altogether.

Don't know wether you have the 1881 census for Sarah Ann,,

Well either Sarah snr either got remarried or she died.

Thank you. Yet another puzzle apparently solved on hubby's branch!!! :-D

According to the image she wasn't working but William Johnson was a Lace Maker,
Daughter Sarah Ann was a Bonnet Shape Maker..

But ir t wouldn't surprise me if she was helping Sarah Ann with the Bonnet shape Making..

Edit,,,On the image it says Breedon Leicestershire for both Sarah's.

Thanks Sue, didn't have that one. Was she still working and if so as what?

Have you got this 1871 census for Sarah living with daughter and hubby,,

Both Sarah's born Breedon.

Possible for Thomas, he's certainly in the right Reg District. Now my tree's decided to load up, there are possible siblings for Thomas as follows:

Joseph born 1822 Breedon on the Hill
Frances born 1826 Breedon on the Hill.

Have you dismissed this death for Sarah?

I know the year maybe out but have tried 1818,1816,1820 and this is the only Thomas that came up being born Leicestershire

Thank you Adeline, looks like a possibility for Sarah.

Struggling a bit with this couple., especially finding anything for Sarah post 1861. Thomas died shortly after the 1861 Census. Can't find a death for Sarah in the Shardlow district. Only have 2 children for them, namely Sarah Ann and John. John dies in 1856 and Sarah Ann marries twice in Nottinghamshire.

Just about ready to tear my hair out with regard to Sarah senior.

Can't see Thomas at the moment. This is the only Sarah in Leics
