Wivenhoe asked for all the info on that death cert, and I strongly support that request ... particularly as it may well help you find info about James ... for example, who was the informant on that d.c. and what was noted on the d.c. as their relationship to Sarah ...  what else does the d.c. inform on? Can you deduce if James was alive at that time?

Does it note her status ... eg widow... although as son was informant it is possible / very likely James was not present to make funeral arrangements... so perhaps he was already deceased or working away ... perhaps in other colony, perhaps with eldest son, leaving Thomas to look after mum and young sisters ...

no it does not say widow so that would mean he was still alive then
