Sarah Wilkinson listed herself as a widow in 1851. She may have been born in Risley, Hertfordshire or near Heydon, Essex and she baptized dtr Ann at Reed, Hertfordshire (no father given). She is living in Heydon, Royston, Essex? in 1841 with Ann, daughter aged seven. Sarah was born between 1803 to 1805. The other census I have is for 1851 St. Mary parish, Islington and she is a "patient" still with daughter Ann, sixteen years old whose own birthplace was given as Reed, Essex. I do not understand the reference to "patients" as the image and transcript don't explain if this is a hospital. The reference is H0107, piece 1499, folio 42, page 38. All women there, and not a huge number. Appreciate any clues someone may find.
Second question relates to her dtr Ann Wilkinson born 1834 who gave her father's name as Joseph Wilkinson, labourer, in 1861 when she married Reuben Brown. I wonder if Sarah was actually unmarried. I found a Joseph who married a Sarah in Royston, 1825. Wondering if another Joseph Wilkinson can be found in Hertfordshire or Heydon.
lastly, did Sarah Wilkinson appear on the census at Ongar, Essex in 1871. This would be a lookup request. Thank you for any assistance with it. Ann went on to live in Walthamstow Essex after marriage to Reuben Brown so I do have her history forward. J
