Research Notes

Name and parentage Sarah was born and baptised as Sarah Woolley Hogg. At her baptism only her mother's name, Charlotte Hogg, was listed.
Charlotte Heath, born in 1837, the daughter of Joseph and Sarah Heath of Heanor, Derbyshire, had married William Hogg in 1861 ^[19]. William died on 6 February1868 ^[20], i. e. a year and a half before Sarah was born.
At the time of 1871 Census the family of Dr Thomas Woolley (33) medical practitioner was living next door in Derby Road Heanor. As Charlotte married George Woolley in 1871 it is reasonable to assume that George was Sarah's father. Certainly from thereon after she used only the surname "Woolley".
More research is required on the Woolley family
