Could be either of these deaths

Deaths Mar 1898
Walker Sarah 43 Belper 7b 400
Walker Sarah Ann 43. Belper 7b. 308

More like the first one as she didn't have Ann on the marriage cert of 1891


Quick off the mark but then he had children that needed looking after

1891 Census has Samuel with wife Sarah aged 35 years ( do not know her maiden name) Children Samuel aged 9, Thomas aged 7, Thomas Holmes (stepson) aged 1

1901 Census he is now with Rebecca (nee Morley married 1898 Belper so Sarah has died or was she ever married to Samuel ?)has sons Samuel, & Thomas as Ward ,Thomas H Holmes ( note now added a H ) still with them aged 11,Herbert, Ernest Leslie, John James Morley Rebecca's sons ? )

1911 extra children Leonard aged 8, Percy aged 6, Ada Elizabeth M aged 2 Daughter ? aged under 2 months & Herbert Morley aged 14.
I am trying to find who is Thomas H Holmes parents? & what happened to him & if Samuel & Sarah were ever married ?
As Samuel & Thomas were down as Ward in the 1901 Census could their mothers maiden name be Ward?
Thanks for any help
