 All who've helped.
 Can I bounce another puzzle. Sarahs mother Editha White nee mulberry remarries William Hart in 1827. In 1841 she's with William and a Edithy Hart born 1827. I had assumed their daughter but Edithy disappears after 1841. Is Edith Hart really Edith Robinson whose living with grandmother as both parents William Robinson and Sarah Robinson nee White have as I suspect died. They disappears of all records

Thoughts?

Looking at the 1841 entry it may be that the enumerator just thought that Edithy age 14 was a daughter of the Harts and dittoed the surname though it would not have been unusual for a grandchild to be showing with her grandparents surname.  :-\   

I note that Mulberry(?)  White is listed as White but he is technically in a different household in the property as it is divided by the /  in the left hand column

It would certainly solve where she was in 1841  but sadly does not confirm that her parents are dead  :(
