On the 1871 census There is a Sarah Ellis lodger age 16 unmarried Caroline ' visitor age 11 Henry ' son age 2 Could the son be Sarah's? Carolines age is very clear age 11 You have Maria Romaine it had married but a little un has been put before it? she is the head Then there is the son age 16 William Romaine unmarried Could the child be Williams and Sarahs? Just a thought Pam

Thank you for the tips. Kathleen, I already have the image. The Romaine and Ellis are linked by marriage and you could be right about the age being wrong. Thanks again for looking.

There is a Caroline Ellis born Marston on the 1871 as a visitor and the age is given as 11, but this must be a mistake, as there is also a son aged 2 with her. There is also a Sarah Ellis at the same address described as a lodger who could be a daughter. Have saved the image if you need it to look for yourself. Kath. x

Thanks for looking Sinead. I tried all variations I could think of. As this lot seemed to spend a lot of time in each others houses, I guess she was travelling between one and another when the census man called.

Caroline ELLIS born 1829 Marston Wiltshire. I have her on the 1851, 1861, 1881 and 1891 I dont think she married as I have her death March 1899 still called ELLIS So why cant I find her in 1871.
