It does look like "Birmingham" to me too, but an alternative could be "Bingham, Nottinghamshire"

Nothing else of this list of towns/cities fits:-

I'm confused?!

You CAN find the birth, or you CAN'T find the birth?

I see from that thread that Osprey found a possible marriage (1914) where Sarah's surname was Horton. There is an Ellen Margaret Jenkins birth registered in Bath RD, Q4, 1905 and a Margaret Jenkins, registered Cardiff RD, Q4, 1907, with MMN as Horton.

Have you checked on previous censuses for a Sarah Horton, approx age, etc. ?

Yes I have this info, I can't find her on the 1901 & the marriage doesn't line up with other dates.... I have the birth certs for 3 children Sarah & William all list mother as Sarah JENKINS formally HORTON and they where born 1905, 1907, 1911... all before recorded marriage in 1914

It's quite possible that they married afterwards. I've see many such instances. It could possibly be at the outbreak of war. Did William serve in WW1?

Add - It does look like Birmingham
