The gravestone of two Spurrell sisters: Sarah Ann and Jane Two of the ten children of Thomas Spurrell and Sarah Wilcocks, buried adjacent to their parents. The first 5 children all married, of the next 3 two died unmarried as young adults, the fate of the 3rd I have not discovered, but the last two, Sarah Ann and Jane lived to good ages (80 and 96) but remained as spinsters. This, and their being buried in the same grave, may suggest they lived together, but this was not so; in fact the last census in which they are to be found together is in 1861 when, aged 28 and 22, they were still with their parents. Jane then lived at least until 1911 at Leewood, working as a dressmaker, whilst Sarah spent her life in service, with a different household at the time of each census, mostly in Devon but once in London. They may have lived togther in old age - I have found no evidence either way. |
