Morning Andrew and Chris.

Yes, that's her Chris.

I got back to her following on from other info you provided for me.

I did spot that marriage Andrew but was a bit put off by the middle name "Henry" His occupation on the 1861 was Police Constable.

I will check it out though.

Noticed on the 1841 census Sarah Miller is listed as 15 and born 1826 but on the 1851 she is listed as born 1828 and 23. Also she is listed as married but still under the name of Miller. Is that incorrect or did she marry someone with the same surname? Just a thought.

Well spotted Patsy.........i didn't notice that!

I am not seeing a suitable marrige for Sarah Miller to a Miller between 1841 and 1851 though.

I have to pop out for a bit but, in the words of Arnold Sweatyknickers.......I will be back!
