Hi,
The person who has the dress inherited from his mother when she passed away two years ago, it had been passed down in his family as Sarah is his direct ancestor, so he took the photo's of the dress.
Sarah Purton (nee Smith), signed an affadavit saying that she married Shadrach Purton in “St John’s Church 1822”, and her older children were born in "St Johns, New Brunswick, Canada. As a couple they moved around a lot, as Shadrach was a private in the army and was stationed in Belgium, Waterloo, France, Canada and Ireland. I don't know if Sarah had a job or if she was in service, but she could have made the dress herself. cheers Janine.
