Do the census records give her place of birth, or does it just give Ireland?

Only a possible:-

Ireland, Births and Baptisms, 1620-1911 about Sarah Jane Watson
Name: Sarah Jane Watson
Gender: Female
Birth Date: 8 May 1869
Birth Place: Waringstown, Down, Ireland
Baptism Place: Waringstown, Down, Ireland
Father's Name: Thomas Watson
Mother's Name: Mary Anderson
FHL Film Number: 101185

...........her death certificate may have her date of birth in which case it could confirm, or not, the birth above.
It may also give you her place of birth, which should help find her birth, if the above is not her.

Hello Helen - can I suggest you edit your heading to include the word "Ireland" - we have at least two excellent researchers on Irish genealogy and they will hopefully spot this and help out

I am trying to trace sarah Jane Watson ( my maternal great grandmother) born 1865 in reland, Father shown on Marriage certificate as Thomas Watson.. Marriage 1884 In Wakefield to William Young... from Leitrim, Ireland.

Sara lived in Wakefield and Leeds, she died in 1896 in Leeds. She had 5 children 4 daughters, Sarah Jane, Margaret, Elizabeth and Katherine and 1 son James.

I am trying to trace any one who knows, where Sara J senior was born, who her parents were and any siblings she may have had.
