Born at Bingley (Keighley), Yorkshire, according to 1851 and 1861 census, or more correctly "Colne Head" Lancashire/Yorkshire boarder according to 1871 and 1881 census records.
No census records for Sarah Pighills, but 7 for Sarah Pickles coming from Colne in 1841.

There were two other Sarah Pickles with father Thomas, one from Colne, one from Haworth, both born in 1824, and both with mother Mary. However, all other records are consistent with her being born in 1826.
Its likely that Sarah and family was actually from Southfield, 1 mile south of Colne which, according to 1881 census, is where brother William C was born.
Death Notes
Deaths Jun 1907 (>99%)
FOULDS Sarah Amy 80 Birkenhead 8a 325
Died 29 June 1907 at the union infirmary, Tranmere UD.
Death registered on the same day.
Death certificate has age 80
Death recorded by Jane Stocks, Daughter, living at 45 Thompson St. Tranmere, Birkenhead.
General Notes
Sarah was born at Bingley (Keighley), Yorkshire, according to 1851 and 1861 census, or Colne Head, Lancashire according to 1871 and 1881 census records.
Baptised and buried as Sarah "Amy" but also known as Sarah "Emma" (in 1841).
In 1841, Sarah Emma Pickles is with parents Thomas, a Wood Cutter born in Yorkshire, and Mary Pickles (55 & 52) and 5 other siblings at Marlow, Bingley. Sarah, her mother and her two older brothers are all born in Lancashire. The family must have moved to Marlow soon after Sarah was born.
In 1861, Sarah was married and living with Henry at Lime Kiln Lane, Bingley, Yorkshire.
10 Nov 1869 Sarah of Cross Flats, widow and daughter of Thomas Pickles a woodman married John Foulds a carter and widower.
By 1871 Sarah had re-married John Foulds, and was still living at Lime Kiln Lane.
By 1891, Crossflatts has expanded and there was no longer a Lime Kiln Lane in Crossflatts (although a Lime Road can be found). Sarah was living at 11 Canel Road in 1891, which may well have been the same house. She had moved to 7 Well Street by 1901.
Was pictured at Mather Family wedding of 1901 in Birkenhead (aged 76).
Sarah's maiden name was recorded as Pighills on Jane's birth certificate. However, she was recorded as Sarah Amy Pickles in 1841 and 1907.
Sarah's father was Thomas, a woodman (or wood cutter) which helps match the family in 1841 and when she was married to John Founds. I believe the christening and death records for "Sarah Emma" (father Thomas) and "Sarah Amy" are for the same person !
I have an old heavy and hand-twisted (as it grew) walking stick, which may have originated from Henry Smith.

Family Notes
Sarah had left Colne and was living in Marlow, Bingley in 1841.
Can't find record of Marriage of Sarah Pighills, but Henry Smith and Sarah Pickles were married at St. Wilfred, Calverley (NE Bradford) in 1848. Their ages match Henry 26, and Sarah 22. Henry was from Bradford (according to 1851 census)
If this is the correct marriage, then Henry's father was William Smith and both were Farmers. Sarah's father was Thomas Pickles, a labourer. They were living at Farsley. DNA evidence from the descendants of Ann Elizabeth Smith, Henry's sister, supports this theory.

Lucy was a widow in 1911, so Wiliam died between 1901 and 1911
No shortage of death records. The following are within 5 years, but only William Henry D is a close match, so probably died outside Keighley district or after 1920.
