Anyway, regarding Thomas Ellacott, born 1848, not being on the census for 1901,
I do have a sneaky feeling that Sarah kept him hidden and told people she was a widow.
In those days if someone had dementia or similar it was quite a stigma, and knowing only too well what my grandfather was like | think this is what may well have happened.
Also itis strange that Sarah is working as a char woman in Plymouth in 1901, but on the 1911 census she has returned to Plympton St Mary and Is running a shop.

If Sarah was ‘a widow in 1901, then, why did she not stay in Plympton at that time?
| think Thomas was very unwell and she had to get a job of some sort so decided to move.
