When Sarah's boys went off to fight in WW1, she vowed shewould neve r lock the
front door of the cottage until they all returned.

In the 1881 census Sarah is shown living in Aldbourn andbeing 20 yr s old.

Sarah was a regular user of snuff, according to her granddaughter El sie
Caswell.

Times were very hard for this family and they were notadverse to nip ping into
a farmers field to 'lift' a couple of Swedes to augmenttheir meagr e rations.
Another regular on their table was a slice of bread, spreadwith lar d and
sprinkled with sugar. The modern version of this is to usebutter ins tead of
lard. Its quite a tasty treat!
