I haven`t been able to find one Merry, in 1871 she was a widow living with her married daughter in Chorlton on Medlock Lancashire
Thank you for looking Edited to add... theres a Sarah Hill age 79 at Chorlton 3rd Q 1872, which gives her a different birth date again. Will keep looking also one in 1874 age 79

C&P from this thread on the Hills, thanks again to Marg
http://genealogistsforum.co.uk/forum...ht=Hill&page=5 Edward Hill a widower, OTP and Sarah Holmes, a spinster OTP were married by banns on 31 Oct 1810 at St Modwen's parish church, Burton upon Trent. Witnesses: Richard Aston or Euston, Hannah Ridge and William Shilton Edward was confirmed as a Screw Forger in the children's baptisms. Most addresses did just say Burton Extra. The one for Emilia said the address was Bond End. Burton Extra and Bond End are really the same place. It comprises the southern end of the town centre from High Street to the river Trent and towards Branston.
