1879 Marriage Settlement

Between George Kellaway and Sarah Ann Collings

 

The marriage settlement between retired glover George Kellaway and Sarah Ann Collings was written in 1879 when George was aged 67 and Sarah was aged 52. They only make one appearance as a couple - in the census return of 1881, at which time they were living at 119 Park Street - one of the three houses in the marriage settlement perhaps?

 George died in Yeovil in 1885, aged 78. Sarah died in Yeovil in 1897, aged 70.
