Hazel, you still haven't answered the questions asked - to try and help you.

How do you know (or why do you think) Sarah was born in Oldham and Joseph in Cornwall ?

Unless we have completely the wrong family nothing has shown that.

Ties in with census info posted earlier

So Joseph was NOT a miner - perhaps it's a case of someone mis-reading, or mis-hearing.
