Thanks to Suz I now have some new info

1871 census Whitford Flint
Sarah Jones widow age 36 Pauper b Holywell
Thomas son age 7 b Whitford

I am wondering if the above Sarah was already pregnant with Jemima when she married Samuel Spencer in 1872 did at some point Sarah tell Jemima that Samuel was not her father and thats why Jemima stated she was formally Jones on all her children's birth certs .I have tried to find the first marriage for Sarah Jones but there is just to many can anyone find Sarah and her first husband in 1861 .I know its all very confusing
