On the 1851 census they are married with one daughter Emma Jane age 2. Thomas is working as a coal porter, living at 81 Florist St. in the New Parish of St. Andrews in Leeds. His father Matthew is also at this address and both are lodgers. Sarah and daughter Emma are living at 137 Coal Pit House, Wooldale, Parochial Chapelry of Holmfirth, Village of Underbank.

They show up in the 1880 Census in District 42 Anoka, Anoka Co., MN. I believe their farm was section number 4 because of a 1888 platt map.
