It is perhaps time to bring everything together. I have now put together a Timeline for Sarah. There are couple of things I would like to find out. First it would be nice to find her in the 1841 & 1851 Census if this is possible. Also I have found her listed in 1876 and 1877 trade directories listed as a "shopkeeper" living at 5, Railway Row, Codnor Park. Is she listed in any other trade directories out side these two years and any evidence that she is a "dealer in smallwares" as detailed on the newly discovered metal plate or haberdasher or what she traded in. Any help would be really appreciated.

Here is Sarah's Timeline so far:
Birth
Sarah was born in Birchwood near Alfreton. She was baptised with her twin  brother John on 1st Jun 1817
her parents were Thomas & Sarah Daws her father was a collier
So far I have not been able to find her with any certainty in the 1841 and 1851 Census.
Marriage
Sarah married in 1854  - details;   Thomas Moreland aged 45 was a widower whose occupation was a moulder living at Riddings. Thomas’s father was also called Thomas Moreland and he was a labourer.
Sarah Dawes was aged 37 years and was a spinster living at Newlands Farm, Greenhill Lane. No occupation is given for Sarah. Her father was Thomas Dawes, a labourer.
The witnesses were John Dawes & Hannah ?
1861 Census
Sarah is living at 5, Railway Row in Codnor Park with her husband, their two children and a visitor. Details:
Thomas Morland; aged 51; husband; occupation Pipe Moulder; Born in Alfreton
Sarah Morland; aged; 44; wife
Jane Morland; aged 5; daughter; Born in Riddings
John Morland; aged; 1 Son; Born in Codnor Park
Elizabeth Morland; aged 9; visitor born in Alfreton

Sarah’s husband Thomas dies in 1861 and is buried in Ironville on October 16th  1861 in Ironville

1871 Census
Sarah is living at 5, Railway Row with her daughter Jane and two lodgers John Wrath & George Wilkinson

Trade directories 1876 & 1877
Sarah is listed as a shopkeeper living at 5. Railway Row - This would fit in with the metal Plate “SARAH MORELAND DEALER IN SMALL WARES” - Probably a haberdasher dealing in tapes, ribbons, braids etc.

1881 Census
Sarah aged 65 is still living at 5, Railway Row with  her son in law Henry Cartledge     aged 31 born in Long Watton  and a labourer; Her daughter Jane Cartledge aged   26 and Jane’s son  John Thomas Cartledge aged 2 who was born in Codnor Park (probably at 5, Railway Row).  N.B. no occupation is given for Sarah in any census.

1891 Census
Sarah has now moved to Osmaston near Derby and is living with her daughter’s family—Details:
Henry Cartlidge; aged 41; working in an Ironworks.
Jane Cartlidge; aged 36 born in Riddings
John T Cartlidge; aged 12 born in Codnor Park
Frederick H Cartlidge;   aged 9 born in Codnor Park
Cicely A Cartlidge   ; aged 1 born in Osmaston
Sarah Moreland; aged 75 born in Birchwood

Sarah Died in 1895 and was buried in Osmaston on 16th February 1895 she was aged 78.

Many thanks Milliepede - That 1817 Baptism seems a likely clue. It fits in with the marriage of John that you suggest. I attach the "Hannah" signature to see if you can decipher it.

Could it be Wildgoose/ Willgoose?

Many thanks for that Tickettyboo I was thinking along those line too. However, not sure if it will help me to locate Sarah Moreland in 1841 or 1851 Census or find her in trade directories outside 1976 & 1977.

Sarah Dawes was aged 37 years and was a spinster living at Newlands Farm, Greenhill Lane

Her parents are in the 1851 census at Newlands Farm.

Found it - Many thanks ShaunJ - Takes us a step closer - I wonder where their daughter Sarah was.

[Milliepede]

I wasn't able to find her in 1841/1851 either hence the suggestion she may have been married or at least living with someone and is under his name.

Many thanks for trying Milliepede.
When she got married in 1854 she gave her address as "Newlands Farm" - Perhaps he got missed off?
