WEBB and LANE Families (General)

Sorry to butt in on this one - only just registered this morning. Sarah Collins and George Lane were my Great(x2)Grandparents - through their daughter Lavinia (sometimes transcribed as Linna in census records). Just wondered whether or not you did, in fact, bite the bullet and apply for a marriage certificate, and if so what the verdict was.

Also - a point that's been nagging at me is that in 1891 Sarah is a widow and has reverted to her FIRST married name of Sarah WEBB. Living with her is a 22 yr old daughter going by the name of Jane Collins. Any idea why she would have given her daughter her maiden name - born out of wedlock maybe? Any snippets of help would be appreciated.
