On the 1861 census, John and Sarah Owen have a son Henry age 14, an Ironstone Miner, and on the 1871 census there is a Henry Owen age 25, Ironstone Miner, married to Rachael, and they have a daughter Sarah age 4 born Shifnal. In 1881 Rachael is in Shifnal and her daughter Sarah age 14 born "P of Shifnal" is with her. This should mean that the Sarah who is with grandparents John and Sarah definitely isn't this Sarah, but it has been known for someone to be listed twice on the census, once at home and once where they're staying for the night.
