Sarah NICHOLSON, daughter of Richard and Elizabeth, was baptised in Houghton le Spring on 25 December 1831. At some stage she moved to London. By 1863, when she married Erastus LUSCOMBE, she had moved to Devon. My membership of Ancestry has expired, and I would very much appreciate details of her from the various census returns from 1841 to 1861. Can anyone help me, please? I have previously searched for her and her husband in the census returns from 1871 onwards without success. They both appear to have totally disappeared! Adrian
