	Hi Sylvia - have just checked the extra info you added and the query as to which Presbury parents are which. I agree that in all probability, it is Elizabeth who is Sarah's mother - she is the one living with Sarah on 1851 census together with John age 41 who I suspect is Sarah's brother John. Regarding Peter Belfield. Yes he was born in Belper, Derbyshire as stated on 1861 census. Once I found Sarah married to him on 1861 census, I decided to back-track Peter and found him on 1851 census living White Moor Hall, Belper with wife Hannah 33, and children Mary 8, Harriet 6 and Peter 2. Peter was born Mar Qtr 1949 and Hannah the wife died Mar Qtr 1849 - probably in childbirth. Unless I can prove different, I am happy with John and Elizabeth as parents. You folk on here have been absolute treasures and I am more than appreciative of your efforts. Thank you.
