Here's the other Sarah Ann we had earlier.
1876 marriage James Ingram and Sarah Ann Holt.
1881 the Ingrams are living in Pearson Street with children and mother in law Sarah Rathbone.
So that accounts for the Holts.
It also does show that people can remarry within a short time of first marriage.
I agree, one of my Gt Gt Gt Granddad's did, but William never remarried after Sarah Ann died, that much is known for certain. His oldest daughter and her family are with him on the 1891 census, he is still unmarried, and again 1901 and 1911.
Sarah Ann seems to be too young to be married prior to her marriage to William.
Samuel Joseph Rathbone baptised 6th February 1859 at St Jude, Ancoats
Mother Ann
Canning Street
possibly Sarah Ann's brother, determining which of the birth's is my Sarah Ann is proving difficult
There may be more Sarah Anns though. We are crossing them off the list though
Bev,
It would be worth checking other children's birth certificates. As you point out Sarah Ann may have been illiterate but if the certificate you have is a typed copy, then there could be errors in the transcription.

One by one,
yes, we are crossing them off - Thank you all for your help and input, I've had a busy family weekend, but head is back into searching mode and I'm going through all the info you have found for me - sieving it through to find her
