Thanks for looking Mumbles, Yes that's what I found but wasn't sure because her daughter was Sarah on the census not Sarah Ann.

Also this marriage has 1 name missing...

Marriages Jun 1890
CRANER Mary Aston 6d 368
LEE Sarah Ann Aston 6d 368
Smith George Aston 6d 368

Can't be that one anyway cos Sarah is single and with her parents in 1891

Thanks so much for looking Jimmy

I'm really confused, so that Martha that I found in 1911 with her daughter Sarah Silvester is the wrong one? Question: What happened to Martha then?

It looks to me that she is the right one, I couldn't see a marriage for Thomas Sylvester to Sarah under any spelling.

It all looks good to me as well, taking what you have all found.
