TOLHURST Ellen Hollingbourn 2a 727

Another of the siblings

Births Dec 1881 (>99%)
TOLHURST Rose Hollingbourne 2a 716

No trace of Sarah's birth...............

When did William marry Amy?
Was Sarah born before the marriage, and could be shown in 1891 in her Mother's maiden name? (Just a thought)

It depends who fills in the census what place of birth they would put down..

Added:
1911 census says married 36 years, so 1875, so ignore above.

However, only this showing:
Marriages Sep 1876
Reeves Amy Maidstone 2a 969
Tolhurst William Maidstone 2a 969

I saw this one, is Bobbing near to Milton where she was born if so why would you change your named place of birth

a possible on 1891 census
