2    There is no good match for Sarah in the 1881 census.

The closest match is Sarah, born in 1847 in Crosthwaite (Keswick), Cumberland - but she is not listed under the name of Sarah Swindle in the 1881 census and there is no apparent reason why she would have moved across the country to Newcastle.

Another match is Sarah, born in 1850 and living with her brother, John,  at Henshaw, Northumberland in 1881. However it is unlikely that Sarah would have added three years to her age.

Sarah, wife of Stephen Swindell in 1881 at Shotton, Co. Durham in 1881 is of the right age - but not a spinster.
