I am hoping someone can help me find William and Sarah Wren both 20ish in age in the 1851 census(which I don't have access to). They were married in Manchester in 1849 age 17her and 20him and all their children were born there so I assume that's where they will be.
Thanks Jeanne

It may be that their census entry for 1851 is among the many damaged ones.........

Yes it is them I fear you are probably right about 1851. I also can't find Sarah Adams in 1841, certainly not with her parents anyway, Manchest must be a black spot.
Thanks for searching
