It certainly sounds like a likely candidate. I will look into it further - especially look for additional information about this family. Manuel is not a common name. I suspect Christopher, the boy I'm actually looking for wasn't born in time for this census. Sarah's age is consistent between these censuses.

Thanks a million.
