Title: Sarah Elsley nee Edwards
Post by: Philldw on Wednesday 19 June 24 06:15 BST (UK)
Would appreciate help on the following.
Sarah Edwards was born 11 Dec 1832 at Weybridge.,Surrey.
Married Richard Elsley 3 Jun 1850
In 1854 shown as an immigrant with Richard + children to NSW Australia
There is a 1911 census showing a widow  Sarah Elsley in Camberley Surrey with private means.Richard had died in 1906 in NSW.
Also a death record 7 Nov 1912 Camberley in name of Sarah Elsley
Did she return to England after Richard's death?

The only Sarah Elsley born about 1832 in the 1911 census was living as a sister in Woking with Isaac and Hannah Tullet?  She was listed as a widow with private means

Sarah Elsley of South View St Marys Road Camberly died  15 Dec 1913 buried at St Michaels Camberley (I can't see one in 1912) and administration was granted to William Worsfold Greengrocer.   Have you looked at any connnections to the Tullets or William Worsfold?

Not all trees are correct - but this tree says she died 7th November 1912 aged 79 as stated by mckha

Agree with  mckha and gastonite

I think the Sarah Elsley I posted was the mother in law of this Willam Worsfold in 1911 living in Guildford

William   Worsfold 49   Fruiterer and greengrocer   Surrey Thalford
Sophia Maria Worsfold   Wife 51   Assisting in the business   France Chantilly Resident

Annie Elizabeth Jane   Worsfold   Daughter 20 Assistant in parents business   Surrey Thalford
Thomas William Charles   Worsfold   Son 17 Assistant in parents business   Surrey Thalford

the passenger list for Sarah & Richard & 2 children Martha & Richard does say her parents are James & Maria, living at Weybridge,  which matches the baptism at Weybridge, but means whoever registered her death didn't know her parent's names.
