1891 census says born in Herston, Dorset. Herston appears to be a district of Swanage. shows in 1851 census, as 9 years old. family number 2193. She is not in the 1861 census with her parents, not elsewhere, though there is an Elizabeth Harris, age 20, working nearby. She was 21 when she married George Bonfield. Her name is listed as Eliza on 1920 census, but Sarah in 1851, 1871, 1881, 1891, 1900 and 1910 censuses. Possible this was some confusion with her daughter Eliza (Bonfield) Sickler, who lived next door, but in 1861, there is no Sarah Harris in the census, but there is an Elizabeth Harris, the right age. She also had a younger sister who was named Elizabeth. Very strange. Obituary (Scranton Times, 18 Feb 1924, P20C7 no.111): Mrs. Sarah Bonfield, 1001 Washburn Street, died yesterday afternoon.
