Hi, Debbie, Thanks for helping me out. In 1891 Thomas was 39 and worked as a 'Wireman Railway Engine Springs' or 'Railway Carriage Striker' and Sara was 32. Children they may have had are Annie, Edith and Arthur, if I'm looking at the right people! There was a son called Ernest Herbert who seems to have vanished, as well - possibly changed his surname to Middleton. Any help you can give would be wonderful. Many thanks, Helen

Hi Sam, Thanks for your e-mail. They do seem to be the right people although Thomas's age varies a bit between 1881, 1891 and 1901! The joys of family history! Once again, thank-you for helping - if I decide I'd like a copy of the page I'll let you know. Helen

Thank-you so much, Sam. That is them - it's where they were still living in 1901. Brilliant! Think I need to buy this census for the rest of my research! Helen
