1. Role: Resident
2. Sarah Ann Eddleston 10 Jan 1881 stealing book, iron stand & cash (£2 14s 6d equic to £180 in 2017) from James Preston her master (of Oswaldtwistle), fined, as Sarah Ann Freer. Pleaded guilty of larceny as a servant after a previous conviction of felony.
3. Role: Occupant
4. Absalom Eddleston, tripe dealer, 68 Henry Street, Church, who has a stall on rhe Blackburn market, was fined 20s and costs for having in his possession six unjust weights for trade purposes on Saturday
5. Role: Inferred Resident
6. Census 1911 listed Sarah and Absalom as married 27 years (no children) but we have the marriage certificate dated 1913. Seems they lived as married couple and eventually tied the knot.
7. There are 2 Sarah Eddleston's born circa 1855 who died after 1913. The 1914 death is Blackburn can be discounted because Sarah is listed in the Griffies household in the 1939 Register
