	Kate I posted a possible 1901 census for Sarah last night before you asked about the census records. You say that she was definately Sarah Grace - well there are no Sarah Grace births coming up on Freebmd or ancestry to fit the date that you have given. It was not uncommon for people to "adopt" a middle name after the birth had been registered. In those days, as is the case today, many people with middle names neither use the middle name nor even the initial even on official documents. It is a bonus if you find an ancestor on a census return giving their full name.

	You need to buy the marriage certificate to get their fathers' names and occupation to be sure of them on census records. Possible in 1901??
