[The last name on this is not expected. All the other information seems to match the Graingers. Interestingly Fanny will marry a Belt 1 year later. Sarah is unlikely to have remarried as her husband died less than 3 years before. She would have had to remarry and become a widow for a second time. In her son’s military records they list their mother as Sarah Grainger.]
