Details from PR entry (image on Ancestry, viewed 5 Dec 2014)
Sarah claimed her father was deceased when she married. I thought perhaps she was rejecting her father, who had been imprisoned for neglecting her and her brothers, but actually her address was given in 1908 as the same as the one in her father's burial record the year after she married. I think it more likely that she pretended he was dead to avoid needing his permission to marry, as she was still a minor.
