there is a Sarah P. Alston in the 1891 census for Langholm, Dumfriesshire (aged 5) making her year of birth 1886. You will have to look at the census returns to find out who was living there at the time.  All the best and let us know how you get on.

l have a Sarah Pool (b 1824 - d 1912) who married (m 1844) William Alston (b 1821) who then had 7 children, one of them being Sarah Alston (b 1861), not sure if she had a middle name. I have never had the time to look into her marriage and children details so l guess there is a slight possibility they could be related as Sarah Pool Alston would have been 25 at the time of her marriage. Hope this helps.
