Mrs Hebblethwaite and Sarah Hebblethwaite

 Years ago I bought two old albums of family photos at the Tinker Farm estate sale in West Sunbury, Pennsylvania. Under one photo I found the names: "Mrs. Hebblethwaite - Sarah Hebblethwaite."  On the back of the photo is: "W B Micklethwaite, Photographic Artist, Westgate, Heckmondwike & Commercial St, Batley."

I believe I've found the link between the Hebblethwaites (England) and the Tinkers (Pennsylvania). In 1859, Annie Hebble(th)waite (b. Penistone 1838) married Zechariah Wainwright Tinker (b. Penistone 30.03.1829). Zechariah (Zachariah) Wilkins Tinker, born in Pennsylvania, married his cousin Frances Tinker, daughter of Zachariah Wainwright Tinker and Annie Hebblewaite (Hebblethwaite) Tinker. He is the "Z.W. Tinker" of West Sunbury, PA, whose family had the estate sale where I purchased the albums/post cards.

The 1881 British Census shows a household of:
Sarah Hebblethwaite, 64-year-old widow residing in Wooldale Village. Yorks
Wright Hebblethwaite, 19-year old son (farm servant)
Annie Hebblethwaite, 17-year-old granddaughter  (mill hand)
Sarah E. Hebblethwaite, 16-year-old daughter (knotter)
Julia A.H. Hebblethwaite, 11-year-old daughter (student).

I surmise that the "Mrs. Hebblethwaite and Sarah Hebblethwaite" shown in the picture album are the widow Sarah and Sarah E.  Since the photo is undated, it's hard know know for certain. Can anyone help solve this photographic mystery?
