- Sarah Ann worked as a housemaid in a lot of different places. She had a secret ambition to be a Governess. In 1880 she secretly married James Derbyshire and lived at 3 Vine Grove, Winton, later moving to 1 Roberts Street, and then to 74 Ellesmere Street, finally moving to Walkden after her Husband died. Sarah Ann Derbyshire (nee jackson) wrote a diary and quite a bit of it was published in the local newspaper. The diary was held by her Grandson James Grenville of Atherton. After James died it passed to his son. the paper stories were stopped by one of her relatives because it was starting to make the family look bad. as she was a working lady!.
In a letter Jan 1989 from Grenville to Lottie Jackson he says he used to read to Sarah Ann when her eyesight was failing. Sarah was called 'Sally' by her friends
