Sarah Ann HODGSON [7856]

  General Notes:

Sarah remarried in 1910 to James Curtin a widower with sons, Robert James, Sydney William and John Ernest Curtin.

Sarah's Will states that she had an adopted child, Edith Melville Miller. Edith was the child of Sarah's brother Joseph Thomas Hodgson and his wife Annie (McMullen). Joseph's wife Annie died in 1876 when Edith was only about one year old, so I presume that Sarah and Richard Morgan took the child in at some time after her mother's death. Edith married Isaac Duffy in 1901 and had two children, Olga and Gertrude Duffy. Isaac died in 1905 and Edith later married in 1909 to Leslie John Miller. Edith Melville Miller died in 1950.

CURTIN -In ever loving memory of my dear mother,who departed this life December 26 1923
All we loved you, so we miss you, In our memory you are dear Loved, remembered, longed for always Through one sad and weary year We think of happy by gone days, When we are all together But, darling mother we are lonely now, Since you have gone forever

Inserted by her loving daughter, Edie, and grand children, Gertie, Olga, and Mavis
