Hello,
My 3x great-grandmother Mary Sands died at White Post Lane in Little Ilford in 1869. She was from central London. Her death was registered by an M. Sands. She had a daughter named Mary Ann, but she wasn’t in Essex at that time I don’t believe, as she had a daughter in Aldgate in early 1870. I can see a Maria Sands living in Ilford in 1891, whose husband John was from Manchester (like Mary’s husband was), but nothing else otherwise.
I’d appreciate any help!
Adam
Edit: I’ve just realised that John Sands was the son of Thomas Sands; Mary Sands and her husband were godparents to Thomas’ children and vice versa.

I can't see any reason why it might not have been the daughter. Why would the fact that the daughter had a child in London in 1870 mean that she couldn't have been by her mother's side when she died in 1869?

It’s possible, but Mary Ann always signed birth certificates M.A. Lipman so the fact it’s not M.A. Sands is a bit problematic.

Thanks for all of that both of you! Perhaps M. Sands was Maria Sands. I was sure there was a Maria, but didn’t have any details for her noted down like birth, baptism etc.

Marriage of a Maria Sands to George Cosburn, 17 April 1869, East Ham.
Her father William Sands.

Could that be the daughter from St Lukes?
And M Sands the informant on the death cert?
Perhaps M. Sands was Maria Sands.
Thinking on the same lines!

Possible death of William
1863 St Luke aged 46
ties in well with census 1861
What happened to the children ?

It certainly does look likely, and that marriage places her in the area. The children were scattered by 1871. My ancestor Mary Ann was Mary Ann Lipman and living in Whitechapel.
-
Henry appears to be shown as a lodger on 1871, living with Maria and George,
So far not found a marriage for William ad Mary Ann Sands

There is a family tree on Ancestry that has different death dates for William and Mary, is it worth checking?

ADDED, POSSIBLE MAIDEN NAME OF MOTHER THOMPSON

Mary officially marries Benjamin Lipman in 1873 at Mile End Old Town Register Office, after having two children already.
I’ve got the death certificates for the two and they both mention William Sands, picture frame maker. Plus Mary’s will record says formerly of Great Arthur Street I think.
And yes, mother was Thompson. Married William Sands 1837 in Clerkenwell.

Also here’s a christening for George and Maria Cosburn AT Little Ilford: https://www.familysearch.org/ark:/61903/1:1:XKDD-836
