Where are the Bannisters?

[Nell]

And don't say by the stairs!

Sarah Muir, widow married Henry Bannister 1844 at St John the Baptist, Hoxton. Sarah was born c. 1796 in Colchester, Essex.

Can't see them in censuses or a likely death for Sarah. There are some Henry Bannister deaths in Shoreditch but I can't tie him in with censuses to see which is likeliest.

Any help gratefully received.

There's a Sarah Banister aged 51 born Colchester living as a servant in Shoreditch

there's a 2nd transcription of the same page that says sister instead of servant - head of house is a John Fletcher born Little???, Essex, aged 32


EDIT to say that's 1851 census

Just looked at the marriage and see her father is a Marsden. I am going to be dreaming (read - nightmares) of Marsdens

And vaguely amused that the witness to the Bannister marriage is called Bollard
