Hi
Can anyone please have a look on the 1841 for a
Sarah Cowdell Widow age abt 65
l think Sarah was born in Cheshire/Lancashire and may have been living Yorkshire or Cheshire on the 1841
On the 1851 she is living with Joseph Cowdell at 47 Hesketh Street. Stockport Cheshire
Sorry ot be so sketchy on her details
Thanks in advance
Pam

Was Joseph her husband in 1851?

If so, I doubt she would have been a widow with the same surname in 1841?

1841

This could be Joseph as he is listed in 1851 as born in Heaton Norris. I wonder if Mary was Sarah's second name. She is listed as not born in the County. They were living in Hesketh St

I think that the older Joseph is really 70 the image is faint

In 1851 Sarah is listed a born in Horton or Hoton Derbyshire and in 1841 her husband is also listed as not born in County

Good Luck - they do try us sometimes
