Great work, Cas. I am sure you have cracked it. It is worth looking at the originals in the 1921 census for Margaret Cushing Snaith and for Joseph Snaith as these provide further evidence of the family break up. Also worth noting who Margaret is living with in the 1939 register.

i see no young Sarah in the 1901 census you have quoted, S S. Going back to the information provided re Sarah's marriage to Joseph Snaith it  is worth looking for the married Sarah in the 1911 and 1921 census ( she is not with her husband in 1921) and looking at her place of birth ( it is not Gateshead!). Clearly the actual marriage certificate is the key evidence required now.

Ann Iredale married Elijah Inmonger in Lastingham , Yorkshire( residence Rosedale West where sister Mary J was born) 28 April 1872 - age 18. Father named as Robert Iredale, engine driver. Witnesess William Iredale ( presumably her older brother) and Jane Iredale ( made her mark - her mother?).

The Inmongers can be identified in the censuses in Gateshead (1921 look for Iremonger).

It would help if we could find Sarah Brown in a census!

S.S From the censuses I have attached Leonora Williams is living with her parents in the 1891 census but with her grandparents , George and Jane Ann Brown in 1901 and 1911. If you look at the 1881 census and in particular the places of birth of the family transcribed as Judah but to my eyes Iredale I would conclude that Jane Ann and Mary J are mother and daughter.

Here is Leonora Williams in the 1891 census. I think this shows her to be the daughter of Fred Williams and Mary J.

Nb On at least one site she has been incorrectly transcribed as Leonard in the 1891 census.

And this is her with her grandparents in the 1911 census, Here she is recorded as Leonora Williams ( in 1901 she is showing as Leonora Brown).

I have to say that I do believe that Mary J is actually Jane Ann's daughter. Perhaps the most cost effective way ( and quickest!) of finding Sarah Brown's parents would be to buy a digital image from Gro.

Gro index has the birth of Leonara Williams , granddaughter in 1901, in Gateshead Apr - Jun 1889 with mmn as Serdale, which seems coincidental and another possible transcription of the surname.

Has the birth certificate for Sarah Brown been obtained in order to confirm parents' names, father's occupation and address or is an assumption being made from indexes?

I wonder if this is a second marriage. Have a look at the original for this family in 1881. George Brown is a lodger, b Wells, Somerset. The family he is with have been transcribed as Judah but the original shows it could well be Iredale. As others have said Iredale. Ierdale and Jerdale seem to be some of the transcriptions used. In this respect there is a death for a Robert Jerdale in Gateshead in 1882 of the correct age.

And here is a Geo Brown b Somerset married to Jane Ann in Gateshead in 1891.

And here they are in 1901 with same places of birth as 1881 and living in the same street, Carrick Street.

Have you found the family in the censuses? If I have my matchsticks lined up correctly in 1871 the family are in Wemyss, Fife but there seem to be more children namely William, Rachel and Robert. William Junior is a tinsmith and Rachel is a hawker. She was born in Banffshire. Robert is aged 2 and said to have been born in Kilsyth ( SP has birth with mmn McMillan which matches).

As far as I can see the family are in Dysart in 1861. Another son, Alexander, is recorded aged 9 b Glasgow. In 1881 and 1891 they seem to be in Lochee, Dundee.

In these censuses William's place of birth does seem to vary but Mary's is consistently showing as Ayrshire but I do feel that they are all showing the correct family.

Have you found a death for William and Mary after 1891?

I cannot see the Isaac you refer to in your original post. ( There is a James showing in the 1881 census). Yes they moved about a lot but do wonder why they would marry in Aberdeen. I would not rule out their being just one couple.

You may find the attached of interest from the Victoria County History:Telford, in particular the map.  Indeed the whole volume is worth looking at and can be easily found on British History Online.
Dark Lane was demolished to make way for part of Telford Town Centre Shopping Centre and the Hollinswood Housing Estate.
