1861: Sarah born Kirk Ireton, Derbyshire, 1828/29
« on: Sunday 13 January 08 18:12 GMT (UK) »
This is a long shot, but I'm trying to find a woman named Sarah, born 1828/29 in Kirk Ireton, Derbyshire, on the 1861 censuses. I figure there will be a few, but not TOO many.

I'm hoping to pinpoint Sarah as the daughter of Peter HOLMES, also born in Kirk Ireton. But be warned, she is NOT Sarah HOLMES, daughter of Peter HOLMES, who both sprang from Dronfield.

The Sarah HOLMES I'm after is listed in 1841, aged 12, living with the John MILLINGTON family in Kirk Ireton. And in 1851 she is in Ireton Wood, aged 22, single, servant/cook for the Charles EVANS family.

I don't know if Sarah married after the 1851 census, so she might not be a HOLMES anymore - but IGI lists no marriages of any Sarahs, daughters of Peter HOLMES, so she might still be single in 1861.

I hope this makes sense!
