hi
really am at a loss and wondered if anyone could think of a way forward.  gg grandmother Sarah Newman b 1862 Surrey.  Went to work in service 1870s.  Married the boss - a professor name Fitzherbert Williams m. 1881, after 8 years of marriage they had a daughter  - Millicent in 1889. Fitzherbert then dies in 1890 - I forgot to say he was c30 years older than Sarah.  In 1891 census Sarah is living with her mother Maria in the family home in Hale Farnham Surrey along with Millicent.  Sometime after this and before 1901 census Sarah left for NZ -this thru verbal history passed down from Millicent.  A postcard exists that Sarah sent from NZ of herself riding a horse - on the back is a dividing line so probably c1903-4  She signed the card With Love & Best Wishes SC.  We have all assumed that she must have married after getting there but who knows??  A very nice person in NZ offered to do some look ups in NZ but could find nothing for Sarah Williams/Newman with no middle name unfortunately so am stuck with no idea how to get past this hurdle
Any suggestions would be gratefully received
Thanks teresa
