Note on Wife: Sarah Ann Hockley

after Francis's death Sarah married Alfred A Lemon (1887-1957) in 1917 in Southwark. After Alfred died she married George Oldfield in 1959, however she was living with George when the 1939 register was taken, so presumably they had separated. This seems to be confirmed by daughter Rita Lemon born in Southwark in 1923, mother's maiden name Hockley living with George and Sarah in 193916,17
