thanks jeffster for your help will look in to the 2 names you gave me.
trouble is and what i cant understand is why should Thomas"s wife be down on the 1910 census as being a widow unless he left Sarah to live with some one else.
and she put widow down to hide the shame.
looks as if i shall have to send for a couple of death certificates, don't you just love mystery's.
thanks
