The informant made an error in the name of the mother.

Sarah Dekuster JOHNSON. Born 1846. Launceston. Father James JOHNSON. Mother Mary Ann WILLIAMS.

Mary Ann, the mother, must have remarried to DUTTON.
I'm sure you have those details.

Both death notices were correct. Sarah was the daughter of Mary Ann DUTTON and the sister of Eliza ASHMAN (formerly BUTCHER, nee JOHNSON).
