I give up

I can't get my head around it, still wonder where Sarah Elizabeth Fletcher is in 1881

No worries Mally!
I will add it as I can.
Have a wonderful weekend in Blackpool and I hope your grandaughter and team do well!

I wonder if, Jobe, on the 1881 census is Sarah, enumerator put it wrong?
1881. 10 Hall Street, Bilston
John Fletcher, head, 39, Coal Miner, Wednesfield
Sasannah, wife, 38, Clee Hills
Joseph, son, 19, Coal Miner, Bilston
John, son, 17, Coal Miner, Bilston
Mary E, daur, 8, Kingswinford
Rosehannah, daur, 6, Chesterton
Catherine, daur, 3, Chesterton
Fred, son, 9m Bilston
Susannah Askins, Servant, 15, Domestic servant, Brierley Hill

Often girls were added after the males.
I think I have found the other births now.

Big trouble with our internet, problems in Spain, Portugal, France etc
So I will have to wait to add more.
