Its a different spelling, but Sarah could also have been with aunt/uncle in West Derby in 1871: |

Jodie, bear in mind that Edith's marriage cert should confirm her father's name and her age (although people did lie on certs) and then getting her birth cert will confirm her mother's name. Censuses are useful for trying to piece things together but you will need certs to be absolutely sure. |
