1871 look up please - and 1861 if possible

[KA]

In 1881 there is:

Sarah Scott w. 58 b. Marylebone
With 2 sons, Thomas (25) and William (22) both b. Portsea, Hants.  Both Engine Fitters.

All living in Portsea, Hants

Would like to see where they are and what they are doing in earlier census.  In particular, if father can be found alive, his occupation and place of birth.

1851 Census
Sarah and John have 3 children
Ann F  7 Mo
John G  2
Jane M 4
Living in Portsea at 14 Sydney Pl
John is a Engineer fitter born Clerkenwell

1841 census
I think this may be him but you will have to check it out to confirm it.
John age 18  so born about 1823 in  Clerkenwell  Living with father Brett (age 50) (butcher) and mother Jane (45) and brothers William, Thomas and Alfred

Here are some possibilities for a marriage between Sarah and John

Sarah Ashley   1844   John Scott
Marylebone   Volume:   1
                   Page:   260

Sarah Cook   1844   John Scott
Marylebone   Volume:   1
                   Page:   239
Sarah Ellis   1845   John Scott
Marylebone   Volume:   1
                     Page:   277

Or though I think given the birthdate of their eldest child it was probably later
