Notes

1. (Research):Not living with Sarah as of 1851; [Note Record]
2. Accompanied by another young woman (not charged) she stole two pieces of ribbon from the shop of Mr Edward Ridley in th eparish of St. Martin. When challenged she admitted the theft and offered to pay. Despite good character references from Mrs. Johnson, Mrs. Hobill and Sarah Robinson she was found guilty and sentenced to 18 months hard labour.
3. Sarah Elliott was arrested for stealing 2 pieces of ribbon from a shop in Leicester on 19 May 1841. She was accompanied by a another young woman and tried to hide them in her umbrella. When the shop owner accosted her, she offered to pay but this was obviously declined and the police called. Assuming she was held in jail until her trial on 28 June 1841, this explains why she was missing from the 1841 census. At her trial, she was convicted to 18 months hard labour (harsh in today's terms but theft was a very serious crime in the 19th century).
4. Role: Inferred Resident
5. The Freer family in Ruabon ended at 14 children in all, and during this time at least two of the daughters were sent to live with their maternal grandmother Sarah Moseby in Nottingham. Sarah had been widowed in about 1850 and remarried John Moseby. Mary Ann was the first - at 17, she was living with the Mosebys during the 1871 census employed as a machinist. Ten years later, Lucy was living with them aged 24, working as a seamstress. It is our strong suspicion that Clara was also dispatched to live with Sarah in the late 1880's and this is how she came to meet Frederick Blacknell (born Calverton) in around 1890.
6. Living with Phoebe Brooks (housekeeper), Thomas Price (Lodger, 50, born Ireland), Mary Price (daughter, 11), Emma Price (daughter 9), John Price (14?).
7. Role: Occupant
8. Sarah Moseby listed as his wife at this address is aged 66 born Basford, Nottinghamshire. Contradicts the Sarah we know who would be aged 78 born Leicester.
