? Did Alfred and Sarah marry, as in 1901 Joseph aged 52 with son Harry aged 18 looks to be re-married to an Annie aged 40 born Powick, Worcs, Joseph is now a Haulier.
Census Ref RG13/2774/150/12

OK if I have found correct Alfred with a Sarah in 1901:-

Alfred Titmuss 47 occ Brickyard Labourer b Stevenage
Sarah 45 b Hitchin
Ellen 10 b Torquay (could be same one as 1891 b Codicote)
Harriett 6 b Torquay
Mary 2 b Torquay
Residing at 3, Old Woods Cottages, Tormohay, Torquay, Devon
Census Ref RG13/2058/13/17
Is this the correct couple?

I can see Sarah with Ellen, now born Hitchin in 1911, Sarah is a Widow, when/where did Alfred die?

Hello keyboard86,

I don't think that Alfred and Sarah married although she took his name Titmuss.
Alfred died in 1907 and Sarah Brooks in 1938 both in Newton Abbot.
I found the marriages for Harriett and Mary but not sure about Ellen as she was a Brooks.

I've been tracing this backwards without knowing Sarah's married or maiden name, I discovered she started out as Higgs.
Interesting about Joseph as found a war grave for his son Francis in 1915 with parents listed as Joseph and Sarah Brooks of Hatfield Hyde which was where they were in the 1881 census ???
