Samuel Johnson and Jane Bleakley and family were also neighbours in 1861 and 1871, so may be related.

The ages of the two Sarahs are diferent. Between 1851 and 1861.  Also, James is a step-son.  The first Sarah must have died, and John remarried another Sarah.

John was a Cotton Wash Dealer, and a Butcher when Happy married in 1868, and may have emigrated after 1861, as none of the family are to be found in the UK. ~1813 Sarah Threlfall Bowcock and Threlfall are the two recorded maiden names for a the mmiage in Manchester, St John in 1857.

Sarah Bowcock is in Bolton in 1851 with her father Richard Threlfall (b.1789)

Also, Sarah is living at 10 Woods Court in 1851 and 1861, so this must be the right person.  The 1861 census shows Sarah's farther as Richard Threfall, born 1789 1849 George Collings <male> Bocock 1850 James Bocock James recorded as Step Son in 1861, so marriage to Sarah must be after 1850, and all other children are from another mother (also Sarah). 1840 William Collings No father is shown for William, and birth registered in East Bolton (not L.B.) so may be of another family.  The William that married Esther Wallbank is another, son of Walter Collinge, a Collier. 1826 Mary Collinge 1836 Jane Collinge Left homeby 1851, but back with family as Jane Lomax in 1861. 1829 Rachel Collinge With family in 1851 1833 Amelia (Amy) Collinge Amy was with family in 1851 1834 Esther Collinge With family in 1851 1835 Sarah Collinge With family in 1851 1835 - 1878 Maria Collins 43 43 In 1851, Maria (16) was with her parents William and Maria at Mason Fold, Horwich.
