i would go on ancestry but would that cost me more and is it a better site

Carolyn, you could take a free two week trial on Ancestry? then see what you think, there are certainly benefits to it, including that you can go to the 'neext page' on a census there which you can't do here.

Incidentally just looking at the image for that 1871, next door to Thomas and Sarah, is Ann Wooddin, Sarah's mother/in law?

Agnes' surname is Rea on the image.

Rose

It looks possible (?) that Sarah might not have been previously married?
