Got four! results Lyn, which one do I go to.??
I'm on it Lyn
Peculiar fact came up. If you put Henry Froggatt in Ancestry in 1861, 35 come up (all over the country). Only eleven are listed as having wives , and five of those are Sarah (two of them, including yours, in Aston, the other being in cheapside)

GONE BUT NOT FORGOTTEN
Mike, the Henry Froggatt that Lyn is looking for was born in around 1826.
Hope this helps.

I think I've got the position, though there is apossibility house had probably been demolished for a factory by 1889, which is the first date map I have. The census for that district starts at Aston brook, marked in blue on the map and first. goes up Villa St on the East side. First there is a Cottage Place (7 houses listed), which i thibk must be the houses in orange (or some on the same site). then there is Henry froggatt's house which might be the one in turquoise, though we cannot be sure. Then there are 4 other houses (roughly area in red), of which at least 3 are likely to have been demolished for the factory , then there is Providence row , which i already identified in a previous post to you (in green)
I think very likely the turquiose house is it, but cannot be certain
