Unmarked grave Sarah Ann Dealey (née Noah) (1862-1917)
Sarah was born in 1862 in Northchurch, but her parents are unknown.
She married Michael Dealey in Berkhamsted in 1882.
Sarah took on a caring role to help pay the bills and in November 1883 gave evidence at an inquest on 77 year old Mrs Anne Blythe of Gossom’s End who she had been caring for since the previous January. The verdict was natural causes and “the decay of nature”.
In 1891 the Dealeys were living in the very poor area of Red Lion Yard with their children Daisy (1882), Arthur (1884), Lizzie (1887) and Alice (1890).
The family grew with Albert (1892), Sarah Ann (1894), Rose Edith (1896) and George William (1898). At least with four Dealey, or related, families also living in Red Lion Yard baby-sitting was not likely to be a problem!
In 1901 they were living at 19, Red Lion Yard and Michael was a general labourer, as was son Arthur.
Maud was born in 1905 and finally Esther in 1909.
By the time of the 191l census Michael and Sarah were living with seven of their children in the household of their daughter Daisy who had married farm labourer Alfred Final and had four children of her own. In total fifteen people were living in six rooms at 4, Water Lane.
Sarah died in December 1917 at 2, Water Lane.
Michael died December 1923 aged 63 and is buried here with her.
