I'm sure there will be lots here for when you wake up!

1911  (I think it is still copyright?) so I will just say they are living in Smethwick, District 34 and transcribed again as Clayton.

Although George Cleaton is not blood-related, knowing his father's name may help if a marriage ever shows up for George and Sarah Ann.
George was born to James Cleaton, wife Mary (nee Kennedy).  James was also a boiler maker.
George was baptised at All Saints, Birmingham on 3 Feb 1861. His parents/siblings are quite easy to follow through the censuses.

I have looked high and low for a marriage for Sarah Ann and George, and nothing.  Either George was married before, so he was unable to get married (divorces were next to impossible back then), or it so badly transcribed for both their names to the point no index will pick it up, or it is just plain missing.

The "best fit" for Sarah Ann's death is:

I would just like to thank you for all of you help. I have managed to find so many relatives. Some are even in Canada.
