SARAH ANGUS was born in Newcastle Upon Tyne on the 26 February 1825.
She married GEORGE WHITFIELD at the Register Office, Newcastle in 1851.
GEORGE was born in Cumberland, England in 1828.
George was a teacher. They followed Sarah's 2 brothers to Australia.
There were apparently sixteen children born to George and Sarah but as only one of these is recorded, it appears that all of the other 15 were stillborn. Australian records at that time only registered births where the infant was alive for at least an hour.
Sarah died in Victoria, Australia in 1877 from brain disease. She was 52 years old. Sarah was buried at the Barabool cemetery - Unknown Grave x***x.
Her husband George married Elizabeth Higgs in 1879 but due to their ages, there were no children to this marriage either. George died at Bendigo, Victoria in 1914. Aged 86. He and his second wife were buried at the Eaglehawk cemetery Monumental Section A2 Grave 317.
