Someone named Albert LYONS was one of the witnesses to Sarah and Thomas's marriage in 1911.

Her father was stated as Henry Robinson, deceased, labourer.


However, if this is Sarah's baptism below, her mother wasn't married:

Sarah Ann Robinson
in the York, Yorkshire, England, Church of England Births and Baptisms, 1813-1920
Name Sarah Ann Robinson
Birth Date 2 Mar 1891
Baptism Date 11 May 1891
Baptism Place York, St Saviour, Yorkshire, England
Parish as it Appears S. Saviour
Mother
Mary Robinson

ADDED:
Actually , on further investigation, Sarah's mother Mary was a widow at the time of Sarah's birth, having been married to a Thomas Robinson, who probably died in 1890.
I think , from a timing point of view, Thomas could well have been Sarah's father - but not according to her baptism record.

Hello
Does anyone have access to the 1921 census please.
I'm looking for the address and occupation of Thomas Henry Casper b1889/90 (possibly Yorkshire area in 1921).

Many thanks
Cassie :-)
