Hullo Lee

While browsing I came across your post. Sorry you've had such a long wait for a response.

I haven't much to offer, but did wonder if you had found Sarah's death on Scotland's People? There just might be some small clue there, such as the informant.

I did a search for Sara* WILSON JOHNS*ON and came up with four hits. Perhaps worth your while havong a look.

Best wishes
Catriona

Hi Catriona and Lee,
These 1851 entries are online at - http://www.dumgal.gov.uk/historicalindexes/census.aspx
(well done Dumfries & Galloway Council)
But WILSON is a popular name!
And just noticed from your other post that William should've been born Ireland...!
Though no harm in knowing of them.
