Sarah Ann Clarke was the second wife of William Chettleburgh. She was the mother of some (but not all of his children).

Sarah was born in Woodton (Norfolk, south east of Norwich) in around 1846 (from the ../../Census/census_chettleburgh.htm#1881Lakenham"> 1881</a>,<a href="../../Census/census_chettleburgh.htm#1891Cricketers">1891</a> and <a href="../../Census/census_chettleburgh.htm#1901Cricketers">1901 censuses), but was not baptised there. Her parents were John Clarke (an agricultural labourer) from Kirstead, and Mary A. Clarke from Hempnall, Norfolk.

By 1877 she was a Laundress in Ber Street, Saint John Sepulchre, Norwich.


She married William on the 10th of December, 1877 at the Registry Office in Norwich. 

Her marriage certificate is on the right, or a transcript is below:

The mark of Mary Ann Clark

By 1881 she was living with her husband in Lakenham, Norfolk. By 1891 they had moved into a public house, The Cricketer's Arms, 67 Lindley Street, which he ran. They were still there for the <a href="../../Census/census_chettleburgh.htm#1901Cricketers">1901 census</a>.

The 1851 census (below) gives us the combination of birthplace and parents, the age is a year out though (could be due to the census occurring at different times of the year, and it agrees with her marriage certificate):
