Further to the previous correspondence, the only Sarah Jane McNamara I can find on the 1901 UK census is living in Scotland with her parents, but is listed as being only 7 years old i.e. born in 1894, but in Ireland! The 1911 Scotland census is not available on Ancestry so I cannot follow the rest of the family to confirm or otherwise whether this is the same Sarah. The Sarah Jane McNamara (Jennie) on the 1911 census in Nottingham is aged 21 - born 1890 - and gives her birthplace as Scotland. Given that the 1901 example appears to be the only match then Sarah was not telling the truth about her age in 1911, and had not realised/known where she had been born - both quite common occurrences. She would have been 15 or 16 when she gave birth to her daughter Phyllis, if the above is correct. Her given age at her death also concludes that she was born in 1890, but if she had deceived Bertie then he would have no reason to think otherwise. Family History research is rather complicated isn't it? Brian Binns
