Jenny Am off to bed now - 'fraid I'm nearly at that age when my children will soon be puting me to bed. It's GMT + 1 hour where I live However, I will check back in the morning... Carole

Hi Carole, I've been looking for a little while and unfortunately there are 3 Sarahs about the correct era born in Ovenden. I've tried to follow them on freebmd and census but can't but can't be sure as it's a fairly common name in the Halifax area. From what I can see, and with your Haworth connection I think this is the family in 1871 and 1861. You would have to get Sarah's marriage cert to John Wrathall - this could either have her father or step father's name on it depending what she knew as she grew up (though with different surnames I suspect she would have known). You would then have to look for marriage and deaths for him to the wife from these returns. 1861 Betty Brown abt 1851 Ovenden, Yorkshire, England Daughter Ovenden Yorkshire View Record John Brown abt 1827 Hannah, Yorkshire, England Head Ovenden Yorkshire View Record Jonathan Brown abt 1854 Ovenden, Yorkshire, England Son Ovenden Yorkshire View Record Mary Brown abt 1828 Ovenden, Yorkshire, England Wife Ovenden Yorkshire View Record Mary Brown abt 1852 Ovenden, Yorkshire, England Daughter Ovenden Yorkshire View Record John Hoyle abt 1854 Ovenden, Yorkshire, England Stepson Ovenden Yorkshire View Record Sarah Hoyle abt 1857 Ovenden, Yorkshire, England Stepdaughter Ovenden Yorkshire View Record Elizabeth Hoyles abt 1850 Ovenden, Yorkshire, England Stepdaughter Ovenden Yorkshire (image says bp Haworth for John Brown)
