But there are also a Robert and Sarah Cummings shown living in Salford in 1901
(RG 13/3739 Fol 20 p. 31), with both shown as having been born in Whitehaven.

Yes, I think that is the answer to the mystery - that there are actually three
couples, not two:
1. Sarah Elizabeth Brindle who married Thomas Wild in 1903
2. Sarah Brindle who married Robert Cummings in 1897
3. Sarah Bridget Fisher who married Robert Cummings in 1900
and the one I am looking for is 1.
