lost - a family of Jefferies

[corndolly]

Hi everyone

Sarah Wort [b. 1824 Upavon, Wiltshire] married James Jefferies in December 1859 at Melksham.

In 1891 Sarah is listed as widowed, living with her sisters Jane and Ellen in Upavon.

Both the census and BMD use the spelling JEFFERIES.

What I'd like help with is where were James & Sarah between 1859 & 1891?  For the life of me I cannot find them on the census.

[There is a death reg for a James Jefferies in Westbury in 1888, but I don't know if this is Sarahs' James].

Any help or suggestions of where to look would be most welcome.

Sarah                    dau     6   

I have searched for Sarah's son James but cannot find him on 1871 census. However I have found this entry everything fits apart from 'it's a girl'.

This is how it's looks on original census

(no name written just ditto) could this be a mistake and should have been entered as g/son
