hi Martin
Sad story here (source Linda King)
Widowed Sarah Roblett (age 83) is living at 41 Summerfield Street, Lee, Lewisham, with her grand-daughter Lucy Durrant (nee Warwick) and family on the 1891 census. Sarah died on 25.10.1893 after a fall upon returning from the funeral at Lewisham Workhouse of her daughter Ann Warwick (nee Roblett). Ann died on the 6.10.1893 (informant Lucy Durrant). Ann had been admitted on 29.9.1893 - apparently destitute. Her husband James Warwick also died at Lewisham workhouse but not til 1922 - he was interred at Ladywell Cemetery.
Linda has a copy of the inquest report (Fatal Fall Downstairs) which she thinks was in the Kentish Mercury. Sarah Roblett is referred to as Sarah Roberts. Inquest was held on 27.10.1893. Also have a copy of death certificate. Do you want to pm me your address - I can send you copies.
Most of my research is on the Roblett family - Mary, Ann, and Martha's father James was, I suspect, an older brother of my Joseph Roblett (born c1810).
