hi maureen Ancestry 1851 cenusus has only one sarah listed no margaret and 2 grand children james dunlop and anne kennedy aged 3& 6 so i wonder if they had an older daughter or 2 as i'm pretty sure they arn't margarets and sarah seems too young to have both of them???

The IGI has her birth as OBrien

Really strange on the 1851 census as can find Charles and Jean(Jane) with a daughter Sarah that matches the 1841 BUT there is also another Sarah Obrien listed as a servant. Wonder if one of them should be Margaret.
