Personal Notes:
Sarah's birth was registered in the Sept 1843 quarter in the Daventry district.In the 1851 census at Long Buckby, all recorded as born Long Buckby, Northamptonshire:
William Chater 44 head, ag lab
Elizabeth Chater 42 wife [actually born Barby]
George Chater 13 son
Elizabeth Chater 11 dau
Susan Chater 9 dau
Sarah Chater 7 dau
Jesse Chater 5 son
William Chater 2 son.
In the 1861 census at High St, Long Buckby, Northants:
William Chater 54 head, ag lab, Long Buckby
Elizabeth Chater 51 wife, Barby
Elizabeth Chater 21 dau, house servant, Long Buckby
William Chater 12 son, Long Buckby
Alice Chater 8 dau, Long Buckby
Lucy Chater 7 dau, Long Buckby.
In the 1861 census Sarah Chater unmarried aged 17 was a servant living with the Sawbridge family (drapers) at Coventry, Warwickshire.
On 4 May 1865 Sarah Chater, spinster of Long Buckby (LB), father William Chater a labourer; married Edward (sic) Crisp, bachelor of LB, shoemaker, father Joseph Crisp a labourer. The witnesses were Jonathan Crisp (his brother) and Susan Chater (her sister). Sarah signed with a X. The marriage was by banns.
The family emigrated to Australia in 1873.
The Crisps lived at Woodstock, near Townsville, Gympie and Esk.
Sarah taught tailoring to her niece Mary Ann Peters for a year or so not long before Sarah died in 1903, when they lived at Woodstock near Townsville. Sarah kept the Gatehouse for the Railway. This was probably some sort of compensation for Sarah, whose husband Edmund Crisp had been killed at work on the railways in 1899.
According to the Qld death index, Sarah's parents were William Chater and Ann Rinch. Whoever registered her death has confused Sarah’s mother with her husband's mother.
A website of Townsville monumental inscriptions has the following entry:
Surname: Crisp nee Chater
First names: Edmund [should read Sarah]
Born: ca 1843 at: Long Buckby, Northantshire, UK
Died: 1 May 1903 at: Townsville, QLD
Age: 60 Buried: Westend Pioneer cemetery
Headstone reads: SARAH CRISP Who died 1st May 1903 aged 58 years. After a long and painful illness. "For I reckon, that the sufferings of this present time, are not worthy to be compared with the glory which shall be revealed in us."
Edmund Crisp's siblings and parents had emigrated to Parry Sound, Ontario, Canada in 1871.
