Perhaps this one is yours as his occupation is Saddler and on later censi he was a harnessmaker. Just a thought. Age on this 1851 census may vary by a year or two as the age question was "age at next birthday". Also, some locations didn't get this census done until 1852. I didn't find Sarah Thornthwaite on the 1851 census but many census areas' original pages are missing and therefore not indexed. Marg in Sunny Alberta
