What do you think to the idea of me getting Sarah Jane's birth cert to see if she had the same father as Rose (Henry) or of the name of Edwards father, name of Edward, (Supposedly)?

If we could find the right birth registration, it might be worth ordering her birth cert, but that one I found looks unlikely to be the right one because there was another Sarah who it probably belonged to. I don't think her father would be Henry. It could well be that there is no father's name on her birth certificate anyway - if her birth was registered. One problem is that with the birthplace just being Derby, it could mean the city of Derby or it could just mean the county of Derbyshire.

if we find her birth record I'll order it, then that just leaves Edward. sorry for asking you for help with My elusive Edward & his family,

Of course, ideally we would find Edward Williams' birth registration in Sheffield, and a marriage between Henry Jones and Hannah Ann Williams, but I haven't managed to find either of those yet.

I don't suppose they are likely to find the marriage as we have no reason to think they got married in Sheffield. The birth, yes.

Also I just thought - there is a tiny chance that Sarah's death certificate could show her father's name. Very unlikely, but you never know. More likely it will just show her mother's name or her stepfather's. If you do want to order it then this is the info:
Deaths Oct-Dec 1881
Sarah Jane Williams age 12, district, Northampton, volume 3b page 62.
