Census (family) 1911 (age 34-35)
Edward and Sarah appear in the 1911 census living at 29 Phelp Street, Walworth.
Edward and Sarah have been married 9 years with 4 Children born, 3 living, 1 died. No other children identified after 1911.
Census (family) 1921 (age 44 years 10 months)
Edward and Sarah appear in the 1921 census living at 29 Phelp Street, Walworth.
This census does not confirm how long Edward and Sarah have been married, nor does it make any reference to the previously deceased child. Their remaining children are all listed on the census return, but interestingly Jessie's name is crossed out and no other details for her are included, which indicates that peraps she was expected to be at home on census night, but in the event was not. Further investigation is required as to her whereabouts.

Sarah's occupation is simply shown as "At Home".Her age of 44years, 10 months fits in with her birth date as stated in the 1939 Register below.
Census 1939 (age 62-63) 29 Phelp Street, London
The copy 1939 Register below shows Sarah Wilson (nee Cottle) on the bottom line as a widow. As her entry does not have it's own address, I am assuming that she was living with the family above, who are her daughter Jessie, her husband Joseph and their 4 children. The register shows 3 of the children "closed", but as at March 2021 only one remains living, the other two are Stanley Robinson (RiD 159) and Charles Robinson (RiD 31).
