Could some kind person please have a look on the 1862 Staffs/Dudley census for Samauel FINCH aged approx 46, place of birth Sedgley, Staffs. In 1871 he was living at 13 Burton Road, Sedgley, Staffs, and his occupation is given as 'Farmer of 120 acres employing 3 labourers and 1 boy'. The same census record has his housekeeper Sarah HICKLIN aged 33 with 2 sons, but by 1881 census Sarah and Samuel have married and the boys have taken Samuels surname. I'm trying to work out if samuel is the father of the two boys, so need to know if Sarah is with him in 1861, or if she joined the household after the boys were born (I can't find either boy on ancestry under either Finch or Hicklin and have now got myself in such a muddle with it!) Any help on this one would be most welcome. Many Thanks, Sarah
