Sarah Isabella Lindsay - Can anyone find her between 1871 - 1909

I know some members enjoy a challenge so I am asking if anyone can find this lady after the 1871 census and before her 2nd marriage in 1909.

Sarah Isabella Lindsay was born in the latter part of 1853 in Birmingham - daughter of Ann (Lloyd) and William Lyndsay and baptised 17 February 1854 at St Bartholomew and again 9th April 1855.

1861 Census - New Bartholomew Street. She is with her mother Ann (who has remarried) and stepfather Thomas Pitt - transcribed as Pett - and shown as Sarah Pett aged 7 years

1870 (18th April) Sarah married Thomas Haughton at St Matthew Duddeston. Sarah signed her name.

1870 Sarah gives birth to William Thomas Haughton. William sadly passed away a short time after his birth.

1871Census - ?Curzon Street. Sarah is living with her husband Thomas Haughton.

1874 (6th Dec). Sarah is witness to her brothers marriage - William John Lindsay to Mary Ann Haynes at St Annes, Duddeston.
Sarah made her mark next to her name Sarah Isabella Lindsay” ( not her married name of Haughton).

I have been unable to find Sarah in the following census, neither have I found her husband Thomas Haughton - so unsure if they were together or had separated some time after the 1871 census.

1881 - ?
1891 - ?
1901 -

1909
- 2nd marriage to Frederick Hawker in Aston.

I have Sarah in the 1911 and 1921 census and her death in 1925 and burial in Witton Cemetery.

Any help would be very much appreciated. Thank you for taking the time to read my request.

William.
 
Have you seen the second marriage cert? I just wondered how Sarah describes her status.
Also did she sign her name?
