    Notes:

    Name:
    Clara Shardelow is portrayed as Sarah Chindaffy in a local novel called Celibate Sarah (1904) by James Blyth. Clara worked for the Blyth/Clabburn family as a maid and in the novel she is depicted as a dark character who attempts to murder her employer.

    In the 1881, 1891, 1901 and 1911 Censuses she lives with Lucy Clabburn as her 'companion' in Thorpe next to Norwich (not next Haddiscoe), Lowestoft, Beccles and Beccles respectively.

    James Blyth lived in Fritton 7 miles from Norton Subcourse (towards Great Yarmouth). Blyth was his mother's maiden name. He wrote several books. I have a copy of Celibate Sarah (Cliff Shardalow).
