My my. This is very intriguing. I had a look at both census records. In the index on Ancestry, for 1870 there is the Samuel that you found Nell and another Samuel with wife Sophie in Fountain Green, Sanpete, Utah Territory. With them are Samuel 14, William H 13, and Sophie J 9, all born Utah. I think this says Samuel Sr works in saw mill. In the 1900 census, it looks like son William is just above Samuel and his wives (?).

I did find a quite a few trees on Ancestry for Samuel. Always taken with a grain of salt, but they could be helpful. One tree lists his marriage to Sophie in 1851 and Mary in 1855. If you don't have Ancestry, I would be happy to contact the more viable trees for you. Send me a PM with your email address if you want.

Hi,

This could be Samuel and Sarah in 1850, transcribed at Anc... as JEWKER, looks like JEWKES,


Cincinnati Ward 8, Hamilton, Ohio

Samuel JEWKES    28    M    Engineer    England
Sarah        "        33                             "


No children with them.

Hi,

I can't find a death record for Sarah, but I found these which might explain why,


'Ohio did not make it a law to keep death records until 1867.'


'St. Louis and Kansas City Births:
In the city of St. Louis, deaths were recorded from 1850-1910. It is estimated that only about 60 percent of the deaths that occurred during this period were recorded. These St. Louis City death registers have been microfilmed and are available through Missouri State Archives.'


I have no idea if you could find a burial for her, but if the 1850 US census was on 01 June 1850, then this marriage might narrow down your search, but of course Sarah could have died anywhere between Ohio and Missouri
