Both marriages are on Leicestershire marriages on the Find My Past website.

All I can confirm is that the father of both Harriet and Sarah was a William Roe. On both marriages William was shown as a Labourer. So it does look like they may have been sisters, but I haven't found their baptisms.

Oh well done Emeltom -- may I ask where you found the baptisms please, as I failed miserably when searching for them.

Thank you.
