A Joshua Firth was married in Dewsbury in 1851.

If you check freeBMD there is a choice of 4 possible spouses:
Mary, Joanna, Rose and Ellen.

From then till 1860 5 Marys died and 1 Joannah, so it's possible that she passed away.

Obviously the way to proceed would be to get a birth cert such as Sarah Anns and maybe even the 1860 marriage cert to see if Joshua is described as a bachelor or widower.

Hi David The Louth Connection is correct thank you very much but if Sarah married Joshua in 1860 who was the Mother to the Two girls, are you anything to do with the Firth Family, or just a good Samaritan thanks Sylvia
