NotesIn 1881, Sarah Brew, 4 years of age, was shown residing at 3 Seaton Street, Chelsea, London, England. Other family members included: Caroline Brew, 7; Mary Brew, 26, married; Mary Brew, 6; Emma Brew, 2; William Brew, 5 weeks. (Source: 1881 Census of England; Class: RG11; Piece: 75; Folio: 4; Page: 2; GSU roll: 1341017.)

MacPherson records indicate that there was no information on their mother other than she was a "great drunkard". The father is listed as Henry Brew and a London address is given. It does say he is respectable, but was sorely tried with regard to his children. He did pay a weekly sum from his wages for his daughters' maintenance (4 of them). It appears as though he must have taken them to Annie Macpherson in October of 1884.

In 1885, Sarah Brew, 7 (along with sister, Emma Brew, 5) arrived at Quebec, Canada, with a group of 28 males and 32 females accompanied by Mr. Merry and en route to Stratford, Ontario, Canada. (Sisters, Caroline Ellen, 10, and Mary, 9, also sailed on the Sardinian, but arrived in Quebec August 8, 1885.)

In 1891, Sarah Brew, 13, was shown as a domestic to William and Mary Green of Elma, Perth North, Ontario, Canada.

Sarah Brew died at the age of 17 in a hospital in Aurora, Canada, on October 28, 1901. Cause of death was not recorded.
