Suzanna's name deduced from her father in the 1871 Census, so does need to be checked.

Notes

There is no record I can find of her birth or baptism.

Her home in 1901 may be The Mount Board School. Certainly the images I can find for the "the Mount" are very impressive! In 1911 she says 2, The Mount, presumably meaning something like Flat 2 in the Mount.

There is nothing obvious in terms of death. Certainly having spent her life in Sampford Courtenay there is nothing in the registers, though some other possibilities in Devon. The best option seems to be Q2 1917 Okehampton vol 5b, p491, aged 76 (should be 79, maybe 78)
