Death | 24 March 1884 (age 72-73) | 40 Cold Bath Square, London |
Sarah died at 40 Cold Bath Square, London, the home of son, Abraham
(as at 1881 census). Her death certificate shows she died of "Sudden failure of heart - cardiac dropsey"
i.e. heart attack. A coroners inquest was held on the 25th March 1884, but as yet I have been unable to source a
copy of the coroners report, or a corresponding newspaper report.
Interestngly, a newspaper announcement says she was the widow of JAMES Cook-Abbott of St Helens Street, Ipswich. . |

Marriage | 24 April 1831 (age 19-20) | St Clements, Ipswich, Suffolk |
Census (family) | 6 June 1841 (age 29-30) | Woodbridge Road, Ipswich, Suffolk |
Thomas, Sarah and their 3 living
children, Thomas, Edmund and Sarah, (note William died in 1836), were living in Woodbridge Road,
St Helen's Parish, Ipswich at the time of the 1841 census, but the family appear under the surname COOK not
ABBOTT. Note also the spelling of Edmund (as opposed to Edmond on his birth registration) Thomas and Sarah's ages are given as 30, but as the census required adult ages to be rounded down to the nearest 5 years, they could be anywhere between 30 and 34 making their birth dates between 1807 and 1811. There was no requirement to state place of birth. The handwriting on the census form is that of a transcriber, not the householder, (which perhaps explains the use of Cook rather than Abbott?) and is difficult to decypher. Thomas's occupation appears to be Iron Founder but I cannot make out Sarah's occupation. |

The 1851 census shows Thomas and Sarah with children Thomas, Edmund, and Sarah Ann,
Thomas's place of birth is shown as Thorndon, Suffolk, which does not tie in with other censuses, where his place of birth is shown as Ipswich. |

As yet I have been unable to find a definitive entry for Sarah in the
1881 Census,
However, I have found the following entry which matches our Sarah in terms of the (town) location and her age and
marital status, so I have added it to her record with the caveat it may not be correct. Sarah COOK Head / W / Female / 69 / Ipswich, Suffolk, England Robert ELLIOTT / Lodger / U / Male / 24 / Ipswich, / Suffolk, England / Billiard Marker |
