James Mann, the father of Sarah is still living in Pulborough in 1841. A few pages before him on the 1841 census is a Sarah Martin aged 24 living by herself.

I struggle with the idea that maybe they lied and concealed so much about their lives. All my other ancestors were mostly honest in their official record encounters (well, a couple altered their ages in the census, and great-grandmother Eccles was a bigamist).
