There is no Sarah Dotchin marriage to a surname Hill.  If she was previously married - she would remarry as Hill but children born to the marriage would show mmn as Dotchin

Does the 1921 entry show Sarah b Newcastle or elsewhere?

I agree, I’m starting to lose the thread.

Sorry guys.
 Just managed to catch up with all of the info you have given me and so grateful for that.
Yes. Sarah did remarry 1916 and the children mentioned in my first post were James and Sarah's. I hope from this I can find the connection with any Burns living relatives. James was widowed 3 times so, this family was quite a challenge to say the least. There's 2 more children to add. Monica 1924 and Joan. James and Sarah's previous backgrounds and all of the children between them is quite an insight to their life. It's the info on the last marriage that has nearly completed my journey.
Many Thanks to AlanBoyd and Carole W for their joint effort.
Dido.
