I seem to have lost great-great-great aunt Sarah Siggs in 1871. She was the daughter of John (1823-67) and Mary nee Dunning. I have tracked her down with her family in 1861 and I know she was in service in Paddington, London in 1881 but I can't seem to find her in 1871. Two of her sisters (Emma and Mary Ann) were in service and her mother and brothers are living in Thorney, Notts (mistranscribed as Liggs). I have also found the name down as Seggs. Any help would be really appreciated.

Oh, forgot that. About March 1850 - christened at Wheldrake in Yorkshire, I think,

Thanks for having a look, though, Georgina. Maybe she got missed off a form somewhere.
