Sarah Jane Giddings (née Franks).
Sarah Jane Franks
1803-1892
Sarah Jane married Daniel Watson Giddings of March, Cambridgeshire in 1825 and the couple went on to have eight children, all born in March.
Sarah is noted on the 1861 Census returns as having been born in a place called "Copenforth, Norfolk" but there is no match for this place name in Norfolk or the rest of the country. The closest, is Coppingford in Cambridgeshire, just a few miles away from March. By the time of the 1871 Census, she states that she was born in March, Cambridgeshire.
A Franks family does appear on the 1861 Census for March and the couple (the head is perhaps a brother called William) state that they are from Guyhirn - which is just a few miles North of March.
On the 1881 Census she is living as a widow almswoman and by the 1891 Census she is "living by her own means" and is noted as a visitor at the house of Vincent and Susan Turner of West End, March, Cambridgeshire.
