She might be living in Pulloxhill or the surrounding villages.She won't be living with her parents as they have emmigrated to Australia.

Sarah VIRGIN-age c 22-born Flitton,Beds

Many thanks,

Hi Trisha,

1861
Sarah Virgin b 1822 Pulloxhill with husband Benjamin living in Flitton

Sarah Virgin b 1847 Pulloxhill parents Samuel and Lucy.

None of these fit your criteria unless she is mistranscribed or misspelt.

Will look further

could she have died - there's a death in 1853.

Sarah Virgin is quite a popular name around that area.

Hi Heywood,
there's a possibility she could have married too .I've just been looking on FreeBMD and found a Sarah Virgin married to either a Thomas COOPER or a Samuel WILDMAN.She married in 1853 in the Ampthill district which covers Pulloxhill.
It's a pity she didn't have a more distinctive name.

Yes I looked for a marriage too but discounted those because she would have been too young 

Also checked for Sarahs born around then and checked that marriage- that Sarah was not a Virgin.

When did the parents emigrate and how many of their children went with them?

Hi David,
they took either 7 or 8 children with them(I'm not quite sure if the 8th was born on board).They left in 1857 or 8 on the Barque "Clara" bound for South Australia.
