Poked around & foud the following. You may have to approach Sarah sideways through her children. Look for trees on line for hints. Your family looked to be more MA based rather than RI.
You can access Ancestry at some local libraries or Family History Centers or you could do a free trial if you have enough things you want to look-up.

Are you positive of Hannah's maiden? The only marriage that fits, assuming they married in Denham, is this one:

Mis-indexed as Lewis - poor penmanship & poor image - but if you compare the initial letter with other names that start with "H", this is Hume not Lewis. Father b. Scotland & mother b. England cinches it - this is consistant with the rest of the family's census entries elsewhere.

He should have been shown as married to Carrie on 1910 but instead I found him working for the circus in Bridgeport, CT unless there were 2 John"s both with fathers b. Scotland & mothers b. England and births of approx. the same year.
http://search.ancestry.com/iexec?htx=View&r=an&dbid=...This seems like it could be Janet's family but perhaps she died? and this is a second wife - or someone who didn't know the family too well was giving the information:
