Just to let you know I have received the birth certificate of Sarah Jane SALTER.

Birth Date - 2nd of Jan 1844
Birth Location - Holbeach Union House
Registered Name - Sarah Jane SALTER
Fathers Name - Charles BEDFORD
Fathers Occupation - Labourer
Mothers name - Sarah SALTER no maiden name mentioned.

So what do you all think?

Edit: Could Charles Bedford be Mr Knight??

Have you looked to see if there's a Charles KNIGHT and Charles BEDFORD on the 1841 census?

I see from 1851 census  HO107; Piece: 2097; Folio: 337; Page: 24
Charles KNIGHT age 28 (1823) born S(L)utton
wife Sarah children Matilda, James & Thomas,
his occupation is an Ag. Labourer.

Not sure if this is the same Charles KNIGHT 1841 living Holbeach
HO107 Piece 607 Folio 7 Page   7
Charles age 15 occ. M.S

Added - next door to Charles & Sarah KNIGHT is widowed Elizabeth KNIGHT age 69 Wigloft? Lincs - she died age 84 Burial 10 Apr 1866 Burial Lutton

The 1845 marriage Charles KNIGHT to Sarah SALTER gives his occupation as Labourer

Only Charles I could find around the same age as Sarah that could be the culprit!

1871 Census
Scunthorpe, Lincolnshire
Charles Bedford, 48, Head, Widr, Labourer,  born Haxey in the Isle, Lincolnshire
Hannah Bedford, 19, Daug, born Hoyland, Yorkshire
Mary Jane Bedford, 15, Daug, born Hoyland
Robert Bedford, 9, Son, born Hoyland

1861 Census
Nether Hoyland, Yorkshire
Charles Bedford, 31, Head, Mar, Furnace Keepere, born Arksley, Yorkshire
Elizabeth Bedford, 32, Wife
Charles J Bedford, 11, Son
Hannah Bedford, 8, Daug
Mary J Bedford, 4, Daug

1851 Census
Charles Bedford, 30
Elizabeth Bedford, 26
Charles Bedford, 1

So different pob and dob birth for this Charles but Children match on 1851/1861/1871 Census.

1881 he is born c 1821 Hoyland, living with Married Daug Hannah 1853 (down as Annie Allen)
