Notes

1. 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.
2. 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
