There is a possible birth for Sarah, using info from the 1881 Census:

Jun Qtr 1869 Derby Vol 7b Page 388
Sarah Jane WILLIAMS

Out of interest, how have you linked your Edward to this family?  Did he marry as a Williams or a Jones?  Does he give Sheffield as his pob in later censuses?

I was told that Edward was born in Sheffield in 1873, when looking on Ancestry, it linked him with the Wales census in 1901 & 1911 in the 1911 census he was living Pendryndeudraeth, and on those census gives his pob in Sheffield.

The best I can come up with for a birth record is this one in Wortley District; Wortley was amalgamated into Sheffield in 1974:

Dec Qtr 1873 Wortley
Vol 9c Page 266
Edward Augustus WILLIAMS

Can you give us all the info from the 1901 and 1911 censuses including the reference numbers?  I don't know if I'm looking for Jones or Williams

Hi Sandy,

 Thankyou so much, would happen to know if Edward was with her, possibly with the surname Jones or Williams with Sarah J in the union workhouse..

Hi Sandy,

Looking at a map of northampton Bristol Street, there was a union workhouse on the right of the map I was looking at, is that the workhouse Sarah would have been  in.

Hi Zoe.

I am afraid I can only say that Sarah J died in the Workhouse
which would have been St Edmunds, off the Wellingborough Rd.

There was no other that I know of.

The Salvation Army Mission House was near Bristol St and it really
was a poor area of the town.

It might be an idea to see whether the Northampton Record Office
hold admissions books for the workhouse for the period that you
know Sarah was there. Edited They do. 

You will find the link under my Useful Northants Links below this posting
Reply 2.

Click on "Collections we hold" then "Poor Law Records" and it shows that
they have Admission/Discharge Records for Northampton from 1837 upto
1933 so your family should be entered although under which surname
would need confirming.

Sorry I can not help more.
