There is a Sarah Jane F C Higgins on the BMD index born 1907 Prestwich, wondered if this may be Sarah Jane Freda Campbell but as would not help with my research am reluctant to pay just out of curiosity. Seems these ladies had a thing for railwaymen, Alice married James Webster who worked for Lancashire & Yorkshire Railways. The reference to Sarah being at Silk Street is for 1901 and not 1891, I have found a Sarah and John Campbell in Liverpool in 1871 and John is a mariner, they have two children, John Richard born 1867 and Sarah born 1869 and there is a Sarah Crellin married John Campbell in Liverpool 1865 but this is all speculative at the moment. I am plodding on and will let you know if anything turns up.

How interesting this is as I have just started researching my great aunt who was at this school and going by the list of all the girls there she was there at same time . Sarah Wigmore was 17 and your relative was 18! I now want to know how old my aunt was when she went there as I know she had lost her parents at a very very early age. I also now need to trace the following number of years when she went to France as a governess and translator. She is listed as a learner aat St. Josephs so I magine that is where she learned to speak French. \hope you had success. Mavis

Hello Mavis and welcome to the British Genealogy Forums.
I cannot help you with how old Sarah was when she went to St Joseph's Industrial School or the years she spent in France. However, I would like to help with other research if I can.
My findings so far tell me Sarah had a sister Margaret Ann born 1880 and a brother Joseph born 1887. I found Sarah and Joseph's birth registrations on the GRO index which gives mother's maiden name unless mother wasn't married. You can search the GRO indexes for free but must first register. https://www.gro.gov.uk/gro/content/c...ates/login.asp It seems Sarah's mother was unmarried when the children were born as mother's maiden name is not entered on their records. I haven't found Margaret's record in the GRO index, perhaps the GRO have missed or she has been mistranscribed, I have however found her registration on FreeBMD.

Wigmore Margaret Ann Prestwich 8d 436
WIGMORE, SARAH -
GRO Reference: 1883 M Quarter in PRESTWICH Volume 08D Page 413
WIGMORE, JOSEPH -
GRO Reference: 1887 S Quarter in MANCHESTER Volume 08D Page 241
It appears their mother's name was Julia and her mother's name Bridget.

Joseph Smith 27, Manchester
Julia Wigmore, 26, boarder, hawker, Manchester
Bridget Wigmore 76, boarder, hawker, Ireland
Margaret Wigmore, 1, boarder, Manchester
Note Julia and her daughter Margaret are boarders in Joseph Smith's house, I, therefore, think this must be them in 1891 all entered as Smith, after 1891 I lose Julia and her son Joseph. Margaret is on the 1911 census with her husband Reuben Gerlinski, as yet I've not found her in 1901.

Sarah Wigmore
Many thanks for all this information. I do have most of it except I never knew Julia had had a son. Margaret Galinsky was my grandmother. I am having difficulty finding all the GRO etc references but have forwarded copy of your reply to my cousin in America which is how I found by accident when trying to trace my family, that a family tree had been done and I do have a contact in La Hulpa where Sarah lived who can help me with her history in France.
Many thanks once again
Mavis
