Oh, daughter in law is with them......I wonder where her husband is?

Many thanks for your help - much appreciated.

I didnt know Sarahs maiden surname, but the 1851 census reveals that it is Marshall.
So I am now looking for the marriage info for :
Sarah Marshall & Joseph Kilby in Leicester - probably about 1809ish.......

Once again. Many thanks

I dont know ( yet ) of Sarah & Joseph having a son, born in c 1825............so not sure, if this IS jane, the daughter in law......

will have to wait & see if I can find any more children of Sarah & Joseph

ps .....ref: Marshall, just realised that it had said Step-mother & not mother in law.....Sarah Marshall 88 >>>step mother
(perhaps Joseph or Sarahs mother had re-married)
