• Notes

  Sarah marries again 14/11/1892 to Thomas Samuel LAWRENCE (a widower) after Arthur dies. At the 1891 Census she was lodging with Thomas, and described herself as Sister in Law. Her mother, Sarah, was a widow, aged 80 at the 1891 census (described as "Mother in Law"), and was born Newington. We therefore conclude that Thomas was previously married to one of her other daughters. Best match on IGI bapt 21/2/1836 at Carlton-Colville in Suffolk to John and Sarah. At the 1841 Census, there is no John, but Sarah's occupation of "Husband drinks" has been crossed out, presumably because it did not fit the concept of "occupation" even though it is probably correct.
