Hi

I've checked the 1881/91/1901 for Josephines on Guernsey to see if any surname looked or sounded like Utah - none did

If he was the John E Sarre son of Alfred - he was still single in 1901

I think the problem rests with the perceived pronunciation of the surname which is clearly not spelt Utah
