I could not find them also on the later census or anything on her boarder Harry Gibbons did see a possible death  for a Harry in 1905 Edmonton ...but not seeing anything on probate records assuming this Sarah is the correct one as she gets younger every 10 years  ;D

She left a fair amount - over £2000, so it might be worth getting her will to see if that gives any clues. I see that Harry Gibbons was an executor of the will.

 :) :) Looks quite likely,Rosie.

There's a probate for Harry as well-Harry Goodson GIBBONS.

Great find. Amazed to find that there was once money in the family!

£2000 in those days was fairly good. I wonder how they acquired it?
