Her parents were Edward Webb and Helen "Ellen" Elizabeth Head.

However, by 1861, Sarah (14) lived with her grandmother, Proprietor of Houses, Mary (Bodenham/Head) (85) at 46 West Castle Street, in the Town of Bridgnorth, Shropshire, England[5].

Then, in 1871, Sarah (21) worked as a General Servant, with Retired Tailor, Rees (James) (77); his children Emma B. A. (44), Isabella (42), Henrietta (38), Ann (30) and Henry C.

Sarah Elizabeth married Wine Merchant, Josiah Linnell on the 19 February 1872 at the Parish Church of Old St. Pancras, Pancras Road (now St.Pancras Way), in the District of St. Pancras, City of London, Middlesex, England. Both Josiah and Sarah were of "full age" and living in St. Pancras at the time of their marriage. After their Banns were published, the couple were married by W. R.

On the 19 February 1872, Sarah is living in the District of St. Pancras, London, England. With the birth of their daughter on the 13 August 1872, Josiah and Sarah reside at 24 Leybourne Road, in Kentish Town, northwest London, in the London Borough of Camden, immediately north of Camden Town, in the City of London, England. By the 4 June 1876, he worked as a Wine/Cellarman, living with his wife Sarah and children at 43 Crogsland Road, Chalk Farm, Kentish Town in the City of London, England. With the death of his daughter, Sarah, in 1879, the family resided at 14 Coleman Street, in the Town of Chatham, Kent, England.

However, by 1881, Josiah (38), worked as a Stone Mason in order to support wife Sarah (29) and children Harriet (8), Ellen (7), George (5), Betsy (3) and Josiah (10 months). Their home is located at Ordnance Place, 5 Canon Street, in the Town of Chatham, on the River Medway, in Kent, England[24]. With the birth of his daughter, Jane in 1889, Josiah had changed occupations and now worked as a Cab Proprietor.

Mary Ann "Polley" is recorded as being a "son" with a name of Patsey in the Census Record. Their address is still at Ordnance Place, 5 Cannon Street, in the Town of Chatham, Kent[25].

Unfortunately, Josiah (Linnell) passed away in 1898, and in 1901, Sarah Elizabeth (53), now a widow, lived with her children, Cab Driver, Josiah (21), Mary Ann "Polly" (17); Blacksmith Apprentice, Frederick John (14) and Jane (Linnell) (12) at 50 Coleman Street, in the Town of Chatham, Medway District, in Kent, England[26].

Their address is 36 Ordnance Street, in the Town of Chatham, Borough of Chatham, in the District of Medway, Kent, England[27]. It appeared as if she was still at 36 Ordnance Place, in Chatham, Kent in 1921.
