The 1901 census shows:

According to earlier census (1871/1881) her husband was William but can't see anything to connect them

Similarly, according to the 1901 census, Charles GEAR was the parish clerk

This one was not easy to find -
1871 Census, RG10-1253-78-16, Kinterbury, Berkshire

Erenia Hughes  1     Pewsey, Wiltshire, England     Daughter         
Sarah Hughes  21    Bentley, Hampshire, England   Head               

The Silas is Silas Bland born 1852 (have cert) died St Austell 1925, buried at Biscovery, Par on the 20 Jul 1925, I was unable to find a burial for Sarah Hughes, the PR's after 1925 seem to be water damaged and difficult and in some cases impossible to read, I did not find a Headstone for either of them!
5 of Sarah's sons enlisted in the Duke of Cornwall's Light Infantry on  the same day in 1915.

RG10-1253-71-2 Kintbury, Berkshire has Matilda Hughes on the image and if you compare the children with Martha Hughes in the 1881 census you will find that some of them appear to be the same children.

The above information is a mixture of my own research and that of 2 other family members.
