Hello!
It seems that you have a common ancestor with my husband: George Pover who was Samuel Pover's father.  If so, please let me know so that we can pool our knowledge of the Pover history.
Best Regards,

Thank you very much for your interest and information. There is just one item I would like to confirm. Sarah's second husband Daniel is approx 22/23 years older than her according to both 1881 and 1891 census returns and therefore is not the Daniel born 1863 but is born c.1832

Thanks again

The reference to Nancy is I believe incorrect with respect to Ann Clara Keen. Her daughter was Annie and she was born in Manchester in 1909. Nancy Pover was born in Staffordshire, but her mother's maiden name was Ashley not Keen?
