Thomas previously married Mary Ann Moody in Norwich registration district in 1897. After Sarah (aka Alice and Mary Ann) had died Thomas lived with Lily (1897-?)34

Note that Sarah may have been of a dubious character as she seems to change her name, amend her age, had many illigitimate children which makes her elusive, so there is a risk that details may be incorrect
