I'm trying to find Sarah Bennett on the 1891 census.
She was born at Birkenhead 1853, wife of Thomas Bennett born 1852, also born Birkenhead.

I've found the family on the 1881 and 1901 census, but it appears that Sarah must have died before the latter as Thomas is given as Widower. I notice that their last child was aged 8 yrs. on the 1901, so she must be have been living when the 1891 census was enumerated.

If anyone can help in any way, I should be very grateful.

Thanks
