As the eldest child in 1881 is 12 - could there have been older children who have left home and are working away ?
is this too early
1861 ...John Pearson to Sarah H SABIN at Manchester Cathedral
this would make them 20 and 17 at their marriage ......
first child babtised
William Pearson 25th Sep 1861 at Sacred Trinity, Salford...John and Sarah - parents I presume this child dies
John Pearson 18th mar 1866 same church -parents
Sarah 25th May 1870 ....same
Thomas was babtised the same day as William in 1880
Lllie Pearson babtised 8th Mar 1882 same church /parents / occupation...is this another Lillie and the first Lillie died 1881 ?after the census ?
so it looks like it may be Sarah Sabin......as all these children seem to be babtised in the same church to John Pearson and Sarah from 1861.....
