Biography

Sarah was the daughter of Robert and Martha Wiggin and was born in Stepney, Tower Hamlets, in the East End of London. Robert was a Mariner and Sarah had at least 3 sisters, all born in the same area of London.

Charles was a Baker and inherited property so the family were not poor and over the next 16 years had at least 9 children, the final 2 being twin daughters.

In 1841 Sarah was in a house with a number of other people but none were Charles. She had baby Charles with her

In the same year the twins were born, 1858, Sarah died aged 45, leaving her husband with twin babies included in the 9 children that were then under 15
