Individual Details
Sarah Ann Lines
(1819 - Oct 1883)
Sarah Ann Lines [94X2-XW1] may be Sarah Ann Lines Owen [MXKV-L8S], number 36419 in my RootsMagic database.
Sarah A. Osborne is tentatively identified as Sarah Ann Lines, who married an Edward Osborne on 31 Oct 1839 in Towcester, Northamptonshire. See:

https://familysearch.org/ark:/61903/1:1:2DHF-3Y3
DNA matches between me and other descendants of the Lines family prove Sarah Ann’s connection to the Lines family. Two brothers, Thomas Lines and Benjamin Lines, immigrated with their wives and children to Nelson, New Zealand, in 1842. They were fruitful, especially Thomas, whose descendants number well over 600. Several of them share DNA with me, indicating that we have a common ancestor.
Family trees online show our common ancestors as Benjamin Lines, 1764-1823, & Sarah Marlesbury, 1765-1838, who were buried in Maidford, Northamptonshire, England. Unfortunately, there seem to be no records of census or births or christenings that name this couple as the parents of anyone. The family ties are apparently inferred. Therefore, it is possible that Sarah Ann Lines was a sister of Thomas and Benjamin, but it is also possible that she was their niece or cousin.
I have tentatively placed her in my family tree as the youngest daughter in the family of Benjamin Lines & Sarah Marlesbury, although her mother would have been 54 years old when Sarah Ann was born. Their oldest daughter was also named Sarah, but she had died three years earlier, and in those days of large families and high mortality, it was not uncommon for parents to name a new child in memory of one they had lost.

Edward and Sarah Osborne are living alone.
Edward's occupation is Agricultural Labourer and Sarah is a lace maker.
The 1861, 1871 & 1881 census records all state that Sarah was born in Maidford.
Could this be Sarah Underwood Lines, baptized 28 Nov 1813 in Maidford, Northampton, England, to Augustus Lines & Elizabeth Underwood, who were married 6 May 1813 in Maidford? Probably not because Augustus Austin Lines and Sarah Underwood’s daughter Sarah Underwood Lines died in childhood. Augustus Austin Lines had another daughter Sarah with his second wife, but she was born in 1829.
Or the Sarah Lines born 19 Nov 1820 in Chipping Warden, Northampton, England to Joseph & Ann Lines?
Or the Sarah Lines born 27 May 1821 to William and Ann Lines, and baptized in the church of St. Giles, Northampton, on 29 Oct. 1821 on the same day as her older sister Mary?
Or the Sarah Lines born 24 Sep 1815 in Badby, Northampton, England to Richard & Mary Lines?
Or Sarah Line born to Matthew & Elizabeth Line, christened 27 Feb 1820 in Boughton near Northhampton?
The villages of Weston, Weedon Lois, Maidford, Chipping Warden, Northampton, Boughton, and Badby are all in Northamptonshire less than 10 miles apart.
