Isaac & Sarah

Continued.....

On their Marriage Certificate, Owen is shown as a Leather Worker but in 1891 he is shown as a Caretaker and Packer living with Annie at 99 Oxford Street. They now have two daughters Milly and Elsie. Elsie sadly, died at the age of 7. Millie, by the age of 19, was a Housemaid and living in a flat at 23 Barkston Gardens with another girl. Millie married at the age of 27 in Fulham. Also now living in London (Hackney) was Annie’s daughter (Sarah Ann) Blanch who was employed as a Domestic Servant. By 1901 Annie and Owen had moved to 46 Grosvenor Place where Annie is shown as a Caretaker and Owen as a Furniture Porter.

At the start of 1891 Isaac and Sarah were still in Stokenchurch and living with them they have Alice, now aged 20 and who would marry the following year and Sarah Ann’s daughter Florence aged 11. By now Sarah Ann had left London and returned to the area as a nurse and was living at 12 Baker Street, High Wycombe. Although, yet again, there is no sign of a marriage she has acquired a son Sidney aged 8,
(father unknown) who was born in Lambeth, London. It was later in this same year that failing health caused Isaac to retire at the age of 70.

In 1898 Isaac and Sarah celebrated their Golden Wedding Anniversary. This event was reported in the Bucks Free Press.
To read the Report,

Just round the next corner, in Mill Street, Arthur John and his wife Ellen are living at No. 4 with their nine children, shortly to be joined by a tenth who would be Edward Albert. Meanwhile Sarah Anne, still unmarried, had moved to 8 Remington Street together with son Sidney who was working as a chair upholsterer.
