Hi all!
I'm sorry i'm a bit of a pain, but I need a little help and wondered if any of you pro's would be able to help me out?!
I was looking up my 2 x G grandfather George French in the 1881 census and I found him living in Oldbury Worcestershire with his wife and young son. They are also living with a lodger by the name of James Williams. I noticed he was 78 and unemployed which I found a bit strange!
Anyway completely by accident I scrolled up on the census and the neighbour was a Sarah French. I looked at her dob and her children and it turns out to be George's Mother and my 3xG grandmother! She was living with her 2 children and also with a lodger also with the Name of James Williams age 60!!
Then it clicked Sarah's maiden name was Williams! I think I may have found my 4xG grandfather and sarah's brother, but I can't find the evidence to back it up! I was wondering if anyone could see if they could make a connection!
I looked up Sarah's birth and found a Sarah born 1827 in Tipton, Staffs with a father James, but there were lots of Sarah Williams born in that area at the time so not sure!
All I know is she was called Sarah Williams, born 1827/1828 in Tipton Staffs and Married a George French.
Many thanks in advance for all your help!

You're not a pain. What would we do all day if people didn't need help? Anyway, we like a challenge 
Have you already tried tracing back through the censuses to see if you can tie everyone together, or is that what you would like us to do?
For anyone else interested

Hi danuslave,
Thanks for the reply! I have managed to find Sarah in the 1851, 1861, 1871 and obviously the 1881 census. In the 1851 census she is living with her husband and not her parents unfortunately! I had a look on the 1841 census but it didn't come up with much!!
Daniel

Hi Daniel
Look again at 1871. James Williams is living with Sarah and next door (still Hobins Lane) are
James & Sarah Williams, both born Tipton
I'd be inclined to revisit 1861 and 1851 as well!

Hi Daniel
Moral of story - think laterally. Or in this case up and down the census image.
Glad it worked out
