Sarah Street

Sarah Bennett was only 16 or 17 when her marriage bond was made to James Wallis Street (see sources) in April 1773. As she was a minor, consent had to be given for the marriage. As her father had died, consent was given by George Street, father of the groom. Sarah was from the parish of Woodford, in Essex.

Sarah was the granddaughter of John Lockman by his daughter Sarah, whose sister Katherine (Kitty) married Moses Porter. Sarah's son William married Sarah's first cousin, Mary Ann Porter, who was the daughter of Kitty and Moses.

Her death was recorded in the Gentleman's Magazine: "In her 62nd year, Mrs Street, of Blackwell Hall, Chesham, Bucks, relict of the late James Wallis Street, esq." Sarah's burial record (see sources) is on the adjoining page to her husband, who predeceased her by 10 months.
