Sarah Sheward b 1766

I am trying to locate this lady on the 1851 census as would like to know the address where she was living but cannot find her at all.
Born 1766
Died 1858 age 75

On the 1841 census she was living with her daughters family Maria Percy b 1802 married to Richard Percy born 1805.

I have all the family history so do not need any percy family details.

I am researching all the addresses the family stayed at as they moved quite a lot but the families were large.

In 1841 she was living with Richard and family at Church St, Dudley but she is not with them in 1851.

As she didnt die until 1858, I wonder where she was in 1851?

Any help or suggestions please. I have done a search with name variations but nothing showed.

Sorry ladies, I didnt come back sooner. On the 1841 census it gave her age as 75 and born 1766.You are correct Erika that would have been a mistake, I didnt realise that.

i also didnt realise until now that the address was the full address. I thought it was just an area!

Sorry for any confusion and thankyou for the info, much appreciated
