Sorry to continue this search, but I notice there is a Sarah Smith listed on 1841 census aged 2 (born 1839) living in the Reading district (I don't have a subscription so can't view the record to see the household). The one aged 3 (born 1838) is the one living with Dennis Smith, but I have a feeling this isn't the Sarah I am looking for. Smith is such a common name you have to be so specific. I would be grateful if someone could lookup the one aged 2 in the Reading district to see who she is living with. Then I will finally give up I promise!

Sorry, I misread the ages on the 1841 census. I misread aged 4 for aged 2. There were two births registered on freebmd for Sarah Smiths in the Reading district in 1837-8 (one aged 3 and one aged 2 at the time of the census) but it seems the one aged 2 either wasn't on the census or was misspelt. Thanks anyway, Alison. If Thatcham was where the nearest Sarah aged 2 resided then I think maybe that may not have been the one I am looking for, as Thatcham is 14 miles from Whitley, where the Sarah I am looking for was from. I knew a name like Sarah Smith would be hard to trace. Thanks for all your help on here. I am marking this completed and that will be that with my Smith research.
