31. Sarah Ann Hicks

Sarah Ann Neaves, nee Hicks, was the mother of Ethel Harriett Neaves.

The name is quite common, so I'm having problems pinning down her birth certificate.

Living with her father Henry Hicks and paternal grandmother Harriet Hicks at 53 Plaistow Road, West Ham, Essex, at the time of the 1881 census:

Name Marr Age Sex Birthplace
Harriet Hicks M 63 F Walsham Abbey, Essex
Henry Hicks W 42 M West Ham, Essex
Harriet Hicks M 37 F West Ham, Essex
Robert Hicks U 37 M West Ham, Essex
Sarah Hicks U 25 F West Ham, Essex
Elizabeth Hicks U 15 F West Ham, Essex
William Hicks U 10 M Forling, Surrey

According to their marriage certificate, George Neaves and Sarah Ann Hicks were married on 22 January 1882 in Emmanuel Church in the Parish of Forest Gate. He was 22 and a Laborer [sic] and she was 25. Their residence was simply given as Upton. Her father was given as Henry Hicks, Confectioner. The witnesses were Henry Hicks and Marian Hicks.

At the time of the 1901 Census she was 45, and living with her family at 18 West Road, West Ham.
