Will post this post also on the Linconlnshire board. http://www.rootschat.com/forum/index.php?topic=796980.new#new
Sarah STARBUCK daughter of Jane STARBUCK was baptised in 1852 in Grantham, Lincolnshire.
Sarah's mother Jane [it is said] (baptised 1826 Hersham, Leicestershire) married John HAND although to date I am unable to find the marriage. In the 1861 census the family were living with Sarah's grandfather William STARBUCK a widower at Bottesford, Grantham, Leicestershire.
From that point I lose track of Sarah and am hoping for some assistance to locate her.
UPDATE
In the 1871 census Sarah is living with her mother and husband Jane & John HAND at Eston, Yorkshire RG10/4854/29 p 51
Sarah is listed as a widow aged 21 years with a surname that looks like GRABHAMalthough I am unable to locate a marriage for her.

Sarah Starbrook married George William Grabham in Guisborough District Q2 1868.
Possible marriage in 1871 to William Kershaw or George Hawkins in Guisborough District.

David, thanks so much. :)

Going by the GRO birth index, William Kershaw married Jane Ovington and so Sarah Grabham married George Hawkins but I can't find any further record of them.

Just to confirm the marriage:-
Daily Gazette for Middlesbrough 13 June 1871
Hawkins-Grabham. - At the Register Office, Guisborough, on the 10th inst., Mr George Hawkins, miner of Eston, to Miss (?) Sarah Grabham, of South Eston.
Still no sign of them.

There's a burial record for George William Grabham South Eston 10 Feb 1870 age 23 online but not coming up with anything else ???
