Help please! I am desperate to know what happened to her after the LAST INFO I've found on the 1881 census.(WestHam). She is with her 2 illegitimate daughters who were fostered by William and Jane Elmer.
She was born Sarah Poll in 1833 in Kings Lynn,was married to George Burrell for a few years before he died in 1875.
Please can you find her death or remarriage? Etc. Thankyou .

Who are the two illegitimate daughters? I'm a bit confused because FreeBmd shows that Sarah and George married in 1875 but you say they were married for a few years before he died in 1875 ???

OK in fact George died in 1876 so I see, Laura and Amy were born before she married George.

Laura G ( A wrongly transcribed from original)and Amy Jane both married as Curle. I am certain of their pedigree from various sources.
Geo Burrell died 1876 ,he was much older than Sarah.

Laura was born before the marriage and Amy after his death
