Sorry - I was wrong about the 1871 census. It seems that Sarah Oldham was married to Thomas (Tom) Oldham and Rosa was their daughter. I've found them together in the 1881 census.

Looks as if Samuel Henry may have been married three times. This looks like him with first wife in the 1871 census living with Samuel's parents:-
