This looks like the same Sarah and two children.

I don't get why not?

Rachal is there b 1874 on the 1881
the name John St Burns is there for son John

I am confused on this one to be honest
what do we need to change Jimmy can't fathom it

I thought that St, stood for Step Son.

It probably does

can you work it out Jimmy and I can sort it?

Rachel puts John as father

There is an age difference for Sarah Ann on these to census's.

She may have thought of John as her father.

Jimmy what do we need to amend
my head has gone!

So do you think that it is another marriage the John Stuart Burns to a Sarah Ann Ellis Perks?

Going by the age on the marriage, (39) if that is right, then in 1881 she would be 48. but if she was about 29 at marriage that would be right.

5 Aug 1872 St John Wednesbury
John Stuart Burns 32 widower Painter Wednesbury Father John Stuart Burns Engineer
Sarah Ann Ellis Perks 39 widow Wednesbury Father William

I think we need to find these in 1871 before they married, if we can.

On the 1871 she is aged 23 not 33

So I think we have 2 different ones

a John Stuart Burns that marries a Sarah Ann Ellis Perks in 1872
and
James Burns that marries a Sarah unknown
who then marries John Perks in 1876
