There were several other people in the house but Sarah Margaret MINTER nee KNIGHT wasn't one of them. I can't find her in the 1861 as either KNIGHT or SIMMONS. The latter name is the one she adopted for a period during the 1870s and 1880s. 1871 census: at ---- Cottages, Fulham Road, Hammersmith, Sarah KNIGHT (head, widow, 68, living on private property, born St Clement Danes), Sarah M SIMMONS (daughter, widow, 35, born St Clement Danes), Robert H BUTLER (servant, unmarried, 26, coachman) and Emma M FROFLEY (?) (servant, 19, general servant, born Chiswick). Sarah KNIGHT evidently died in the 1870s and in 1881 Sarah Margaret was the head of household i n her own right - see her Notes.
