SARAH and ANNIE BUXTON of Langley.

Hi. I wonder if anyone can help me with some "hard to pin down" Buxtons of Langley?

ANNIE BUXTON was born 5 Aug 1878 in Langley & was the daughter of a SARAH BUXTON (Seamstress). Annie married Samuel Pearson on 25 December 1897 at St. John's Church, Heanor. At the time of marriage, they lived at New Road, Marlpool.

However Annie's birth and marriage certificates are blank where the fathers name should appear... thus making the task of finding out more about her difficult.

I can not find a good match for either Annie or Sarah on the 1871, 81, or 91 census records and do not know for sure when Sarah was born or if she ever got married. I am guessing she would have been a young lady when she had Annie(Est DoB 1850-1860).

There is one curious entry in the 1871 census (address reads as just "Langley") for a Sarah BUXTON, aged 17, a VISITOR to the home of WILLIAM and MARY Buxton, both aged 26 with a young son Walter and unnamed daughter. William was an Engine Driver for the Collery. All were listed as from Heanor.

If anyone can shed any light on these two ladies I would be most grateful as it is looking like a dead loss to pursue that line further.

Thank you.
