 :) Funnily enough at the moment neither can I, but think this is the Sarah A Walters in 1851 census:-

George Walters 55 Widower occ Miller b Clee St Margaret
Mary E 21 Daughter b Clee ?
John E 19 Son b Weston
Sarah Ann Granddaughter 1 month? b Weston
Residing at Weston Mill, Western under Lizard
Census ref HO107/1987/175/9

Hi again, odd this Walters family either they do not like getting married or use another name at marriage and/or also marry possibly out of area of birth of children and themselves really confused at moment as this is John E Walters in 1861, ( Note second occasion this family has been transcribed as WATTERS)

George WATTERS 65 Miller
John E 29 Married b Weston
Martha 23 Daughter in Law b Donnington
George E 1 Grandson b Weston
? Grandaughter 3 months ( in middle column states Abn? Baptised) b Weston
Residing at Weston Mill
Census ref RG09/1853/5/6

Marriage & childrens births?

EDIT Just found marriage, typical right after making a post, it was in March 1859 Newport as Watters or Walters to Martha Blest!

So did Mary E Watters/Walters marry Henry Johnson or not?

Hi again, well to me at least Henry Johnson appears never to have married Mary (E) Walters/Watters although they christen children as a married couple, the first was Mary which is slightly odd as "out of area" and at first glance at original baptism an odd extra middle name?

Mary Ann Alstree Johnson 24th April 1853 Alveley Father Henry occ Labourer Mother Mary

PS Which registration district did Alveley come under?
Also baptism Sarah Ann Watters 2nd March 1851 St Andrew, Weston under Lizard, Base born daughter of Mary Elizabeth abode Weston Mill
