Thanks Jane  :D

I think this one might be mine :

Ironmonger: Sarah Offen, 3 Norman road west (b.1811, widow with 3 children)

It says the info comes from directories and the 1851 census - could someone (Chris?! ;) ) look and see who else is with her in the 1851 census please? I need the children's names to work out who she is  :-\

Many thanks in advance  :-*

Cheryl, If I were you, post that request with the details on a separate look-up request as Chris hasn't posted on this one so will not see your request  :)

Many thanks Mark - you're a star. Not sure how they fit in with my lot yet but I'm sure they do somewhere !  ;)

Jane - I had the same thought as you afterwards, probably wasn't the best place to post my message, sorry !  :-[
