Sarah Gardiner’s prospects were bright. Although she didn’t marry, she trained to be a schoolmistress. Sadly, her life was tragically interrupted after a bike ride in September 1902.
When I originally researched my second great-grandparents William Richard and Elizabeth Webb, I noted an issue on the 1901 England Census. The family wasn’t together.
