Notes

1. (Research):John Elliott's daughter Mary Ann's marriage was in 1849 (John Elliott was listed as father, but not noted as deceased) and his wife Sarah was a widow in in the March 1851 census. If alive at the wedding then John Elliott died between 4 Dec 1849 and 30 Mar 1851. However, it is also a possibility that he was deceased which could explain why he wasn't a witness (Elizabeth Tomlinson taking his place). There is a John Elliott RIN 1187 death Q4/1850 in Leicester. However, the index says he died age 73 (born 1777) making him a lot older than Sarah (35 years older). Certificate proves this is not our John Elliott. The death certificate for John Elliott 1846 shows he was around the correct age (4 years older than Sarah) and critically living in White Street. This is the same street as Sarah lived as a widow in 1851 and his daughter in 1849. The death informant was Louisa Johnson on Burgess Street - this street is adjacent to White Street, so likely a family friend. It's obviously an open question why Louisa was present at the death when Sarah could have done so. His daughters Mary Ann & Maria were approx 15 years old at the time. White Street has been difficult to track down as it no longer exists. See Map 1892 Leicester Chas E Goad Insurance Plan of Leicester sheet 20 which does show it. In 1841, John Elliott was living in White Street but not with his family. This ties in with Sarah being in prison awaiting trial for larceny and also their children, Mary Ann and Maria, being sent to live with their grandfather William Tomlinson in Thurlaston. 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. (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]
3. (Research):Gravestone aged 82 on 22 Jan 1913. Therefore born 23 Jan 1830 - 22 Jan 1831 1851 census shows age 20 therefore born 31 Mar1830 - 30 Mar 1831 Conclusion is she was born 31 Mar 1830 - 22 Jan 1831; more likely year is 1830 There is a Mary Elliott (not Mary Ann) baptised 26 Oct 1829 in Normanton on Soar (25 miles away from Thurlaston); [Note Record]
4. (Medical):Cerebral haemorrhage is a type of brain stroke; [Note Record]
5. Stated as Under 21 in Marriage certificate 4/12/1849 implying birth was after 1828; [Note Record]
6. (Research):1851 census lists birth as Thurlestone (likely a spelling mistake); [Note Record]
