What age is she on her marriage cert in 1855 ?
if she was 58 in 1891 = born 1832/33 - does that match her age on marriage cert?

So at least 21 .....so born 1834 back to 1832 according to 1891 census
www.familysearch.org
sarah ann holden
birth /baptism
england
1830 - 1835
parent - william holden
results ...............can`t find her
you try and search the same and see if anything shows ....somehow ,I think there is a slight problem with the site or my search ....
see what you come up with .... I am wondering if Sarah Ann mother re-married to William Holden and Sarah took his name - or Sarah Ann was born out of wedlock to williams wife before they married and Sarah was named after her mothers maiden name ??
I can`t find her anywhere prior to the marriage

Did Sarah name any children Hannah - quite common if  one daughter was named after their grandmother??
ADDED
can you list the names of her children in the 1861/1871/1881 census ?

[Marysghost]

Can't see a Hannah
1861 children

Elizabeth 3
George 3 months

On 1871

Elizabeth 13
Catherine 7
Thomas 4
Jane 2
No George

(Elizabeth was my G Grandmother)

Your marriage for Hannah Lawley might be right - and maybe Richard and Sarah Ann did name a daughter after Hannah ??

sadly - I have found this - and because of the years - wouldn`t show on any census

Hannah Elizabeth Pickerill born 1862
buried 27th september 1863 aged 1 at St James ,Dudley ........
NO PARENTS are named - but there is a good chance she may be a daughter of Richard and Sarah Ann ...
what do you think ?

[Marysghost]

If I have the right marriage, would Hannah not be to old to have a child in 62 ??
