Help needed - hit a wall and can't think what to do next!!

[sistersue61]

Am looking at my dads family still, but maternal side now.
Have his moms birthcert (copy from 1963) but it hasn't a father named on it.
Trying to trace her mom,and think I have worked it back to 1901 census, Nans name was Harrison and we know one of her sisters was Florrie, so have found Sarah with Florrie, Minnie and Beatrice Harrison, a widow, with a lodger, James Griffiths. On nans marriage lines the witnesses were Sarah and James Griffiths, so assume she married her lodger, who was 13 years her junior.Am trying now to go back from 1901 to find Sarahs husband, and her maiden name, but cannot find anything I'm convinced about. In 1901 they livedin Wolverhampton and Nan was born there in 1902, bu when Nan married both her and my grandad lived in Smallbrook Street, at different numbers - not sure where they moved to then, Dad thinks they lived in Carlton Rd then Wash Lane.
Can anyone see where I could look for more info on Sarah, I'm sure it will be something obvious, but it's really bugging me now!!
Thanks for looking/ advising!!
Sue

This looks like it could be Sarah in 1891 with their eldest daughter but no hubby with them, however she is married so he could have been at work somewhere. This looks like Beatrice's birth as she was born Wolverhampton about 1889
Harrison Beatrice Wolverhampton 6b 525
1891
Sarah Harrison
30 abt 1861
Born Wolverhampton, Staffordshire, England
Address 4 Pearson St Wolverhampton
parish: St John Staffordshire

Samuel Felton 64
Ann Felton 67
Annie Felton 20
Sarah Harrison lodger married 30
Beatrice Harrison lodger’s daughte 2

Hope this helps as the birth cert would have Beatrice's mother maiden name on it
