Need help finding Sarah Gadney Servant in Long Eaton
« on: Sunday 18 January 26 13:09 GMT (UK) »
In 1871 Sarah is a Servant for Eliza Ward in Long Eaton, Derbyshire. Sarah was born February 13th 1849 in St Clements, Oxford. I cannot find any records for Sarah past the 1871 census and I cannot find a death record either. Can anybody help me find this lady who mysteriously disappears after 1871?

1891 census has a Sarah Thomson born 1849 St Clement Oxfordshire so looks promising

Husband is down as Jonathan Foster Thomson 46 but original reads Forbes from Aberdeenshire

Living Lambeth London with 4 children

Note 1881 census under Thompson but all other years census can be traced under Thomson

Good luck

Sarah’s son Egbert Thomson is staying with Mary Ann Tucker (nee Gadney) in 1901. Mary Ann is 100% my Sarah’s sister so it seems you have closed the case!
