I am trying to find the parents of Sarah Williams, born c1857 in Shrewsbury, Shropshire. She was married to William Henry (known as Henry) Storey in 1878 in Ludlow. Could someone have a look at the various censuses after 1857 to see if there are any matches? I've found possible parents' names of Henry and Jane, if this matches.
Many thanks!

You need the marriage certificate to find her father's name but this, among others is a possible, She says in later census records that she was born in Shrewsbury
