    • From the 1911 census where shown as aged 29. Shown as aged 21 in 1901, perhaps to hide the fact she had died under age without parental consent? The only birth registration to match (i.e. a Sarah Ann Higgins in Milton Reg District, 1878-1882) indicates her true age at the time of the 1901 census would have been 19, and that the 1911 census is correct.

      I think they were probably still married at the time of the 1911 census (it implies so) but presumbably Charles had died when Sarah remarried in 1912.

      The information about this marriage was erroneously entered on the 1911 census (as was often the case), With a single strick through it is still readable and indicates that 3 children were born to this marriage, of whom one had died.
      I have not found the birth or death of a Charles Adam to fit with the 1901 census data, nor a divorce, not a census entry for him in 1911. Although daughter Amy was not with her mother in 1911, who was working as housekeeper at 25 Crown Quay, rather she was with her mother's half-sister and family at 26 Crown Quay!
      A lot were emigrating at this time; maybe Charles left the country.
    Separated Between Apr 1901 and May 1904 
    • Not necessarily a formal separation, but Charles and Sarah Ann seem to have parted company, after the 1901 census (where together in the same house) but probably before Sarah's son Walter was conceived (no father named on his birth cert.). As he was born in Feb 1905 then by May 1904.

    • Mellor is a north country name, rare in Kent BUT there is a marriage in 1920 which I think must be this Sarah Ann:

      Only marriage of a Sarah A* [any surname] to a James Cooper in Kent, 1898-1939, and the information for Sarah in the 1939 reg is a good fit for what I have from other sources; though there is small discrepancy in her birth year such inaccuracies were common.
