I have Sarah Crofts born 1828 in Staverton, Northants & John Hewitt married 1852 in Warwick.

I have been trying to find out more about Sarah's family and checked IGI and they had records saying that Sarah was baptised in staverton in 1828, parents were John & Hannah. Have managed to confirm through parish records that a John Crofts & hannah goode married in Dodford in 1816.

Now here comes the puzzle, I can find Sarah from 1861 under her married name of Hewitt and for the years after that till her death in 1904. However I can not find her on the 1841, 1851 census to work out why she ended up from northampton in warwickshire.

Hope that makes sense. Can anyone else find her and also do they think i am right in that her parents were john & hannah. Awaiting the marriage cert for Sarah & John Hewitt to confirm her fathers name, but in meantime thought maybe someone could help me trace her.
