Find Ancestors

Thank you, I have been totally confused about this one.as I made a connection with a GR member who has Sarah born about 1868 with father william in staffs but with another husband and with her born in Rugeley Staffs?

The information on Sarah and William's family 1891 census does tie in with the 1901 census that I have, I didnt realise that Wolstan is connected to tunstall. So am I right in thinking that Wolstan/Tunstallis all part of Wolverhampton? Looked at map and I thought Tunstall was in Stoke on Trent? Perhaps theres another one in Wolverhampton that I havent found yet or boarders have changed over the years.

to look for it

1881 census is also free to search
found 3 possibiles in Staffordshire
you may be able to link one through fathers occupation on marriage cert?

Can someone please help me with a birth GRO reference for a Sarah Lycett.

Father William.

Born 1868-1870. See explanation below.

According to the 1901 census she was born in Tunstall, Staffordshire, aged 31 so born around 1870. This places her with her husband Benjamin Smith.

However, Her marriage certificate to Benjamin Smith in 1886 shows her as 18 so making her born about 1868?

Help please, only the birth certificate will resolve this.
