Hi Sarah, I'm pasting this 1871 Census entry for a Sarah Charles, she is living in Marylebone, 1 block off the boundary for St. Pancras, she was born in St. Pancras. She lives about six blocks from the Charles Peter Durant Piggott that I mentioned in my earlier post. This Sarah Charles can be found in the 1861 Census with her parents, John Charles, Draper's Assistant, born Hants parish Portsea, and Mary Ann Charles. Her brother Harry is also there, corresponding with the 1871 Census entry. 1871 England Census, London, St. Marylebone, All Souls, District 7 Bounded on the North by Foley Street, on the East the Parish Boundary dividing Pancras from Marylebone, on the South by Charles Street and on the West by Nassau Street & York Street.
