The Webb Wagg Family in Australia

On 21 September 1918, our many times great-grandmother and great-aunt, Sarah Wagg (nee Turner) died at the home of her son, William, at 247 West Street Cammeray.  Sarah was 85 years of age and William, her husband, has died 13 years earlier.

George Turner died in 1847 when Sarah was 15 and Jane was about 6.  There's no evidence that Mary was part of the girls life at this time.  Jane was a witness at Sarah and William Wagg's wedding in 1853 but s
