Many thanks for your observation.

Mary Sarah was the infant daughter of William Craxford (Robert Craxford's brother) and Sarah Smith. Although difficult to prove, because of time scales it seems likely that Sarah died during or shortly after giving birth to Mary Sarah

I may have solved this issued. Mary Craxford, a servant, now aged 16, died in Stamford. Lincolnshire on February 9th 1842 of Typhus. The place of death was recorded as St George's which may indicate the Stamford St George's workhouse (and infirmary)
