Notes:
Sarah's birth was registered on 28 Jan 1850. Her mother, Priscilla Ward, nee
Coverdale signed with an X.
Sarah Ann does not seem to be in the 1861 census, however, there is a Sarah Wade,
a servant at a farm in Farndale, south of Guisborough, who is about the right
age, and born in Stokesley. There is no Sarah Wade in the 1851 Stokesley
census, and also, apparently no record of a Sarah Wade born in Stokesley
around 1849-1850, so it is possible this is our Sarah.
The 1900 census indicates she had had 7 children, 4 of whom were living.
The seventh child is probably
Priscilla Swales, christened 13 May 1878, died Sep quarter of 1878,
age 0, but might also be
Sarah Ann Swales, who died in the Sep quarter of 1884, age 1.
Sarah's cause of death is listed as Lobar Pneumonia.
