1. (Research):A Sarah Elliott died Basford Q4/1889 (born 1813) aged 76 - RIN 1191 eliminated. A Sarah Elliott died Basford Q1/1889 (born 1814) aged 75 - RIN 1190 eliminated. Perhaps Sarah and John Moseby never actually married (explaining no marriage records found) and so was recorded by her prior name. Sarah Moseby in 1871 aged 58 (born 1812-13) is grandmother to Mary Jane Freer Sarah Moseby in 1881 aged 68 (born 1812-13) is grandmother to Lucy Freer In 1891, John Moseby appears to have been married to another Sarah (born 1824) 12 years younger than our Sarah. No Sarah Moseby's died between 1880 and 1900 (we know our Sarah was alive 1881). In 1901, a Sarah Moseby died in Nottingham aged 71 (born 1829) too young to be our Sarah (born 1812) Sarah Tomlinson born 1812 to William & Jane Tomlinson is our Sarah. Sarah Tomlinson born 1823 to The Mrs Johnson who gave a favourable character statement at Sarah's larceny trial in 1841 could well be the same as Louisa Johnson who was present at John Elliott's death in 1846.; [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. Role: Occupant
4. 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).
5. Role: Inferred Resident
6. 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.
