• Notes

  The baptism register says she was living at 4, Pleasant Row, however this is a little way away from 4, Little Pleasant Row where William was born in 1879 and where they were for the 1881 Census, so I am assuming this was a typo. Probate was £156 to William James DESBOROUGH (presumably her brother), occ retired railway porter. Have found Sarah DESBOROUGH in the Electoral Roll at various dates from 1918 to 1954, living with others, presumably a servant, though she is at 29, Pepler Road from 1945 to 1951 with a different person - so maybe she owns the house and has lodgers.
