Sue, two things to remember about the 1841: relationships are not shown and ages were often rounded down to the nearest 5.

Do you have Ann or Sarah's marriage certs to confirm their father's name?

None of the above were born in Staffordshire.

I don't know where you find them Mo but that is a real gem.

His address in 1841 (Queen St, Lichfield) was very close to where my maternal grandmother was born in 1885.

Researching:
Don't put off until tomorrow doing what you can do today. If you like doing it today you can do it again tomorrow. Be kind to your children for it is they who will decide which care home you end up in.
