I think we may have a connection on BCC??

We have Nancy Hodgetts marriage to Joseph Blakeway. Her Father Benjamin Jews harp player. I think it may be Nancy who is living next door to Sarah in 1851.

I cant find the family together or any baptisms to be certain for Sarah or Nancy. I have added a note to say Benjamin may be on BCC.
