     In 1861 Elizabeth was living at 118 Snargate Street, Dover, Kent^G, in the household of her father Richard Sackett, and was recorded in the census as Elizabeth Joad, a tobacconist, a widow, aged 47 and born in Deal.³
     Elizabeth was named as a beneficiary in her father's will made in Dover, Kent^G, on 29 September 1854. She was to share equally, with her sister Sarah, their father's leasehold house at 118 Snargate Street, Dover, and his personal estate, which was valued at under £200. The will was proved at Canterbury on 9 November 1863.⁴
     In 1871 she was living at 118 Snargate Street, Dover, Kent^G, and was recorded as Elizabeth Joad, a tobacconist, head of household, a widow, aged 60, and born in Deal, Kent.

Richard Henry Sackett, son of Richard Sackett and Jane Kemp, was baptized at St Leonard's Church, Deal, Kent^G, on 14 March 1813.¹ He died aged 59 in West Ham, Essex^G,² and was buried at West Ham Cemetery^G on 10 July 1872.⁷ He married first at Sholden, Kent^G, on 25 December 1835, Sarah Ann Kemp.³ She was born in Deal, Kent^G, about 1816.⁸ She died in Eastry, Kent^G, in 1889.⁹ Richard married second, bigamously, at St Leonard's Church, Shoreditch, Middlesex^G, on 5 August 1867, Mary Webb, daughter of Richard Webb.^4,5 Mary was born in Epping, Essex^G, between 1817 and 1821.¹⁰ She was probably the Mary Sackett whose death was recorded in the West Ham registration district, Essex^G, in 1901.¹¹
     In 1841 Richard was living at Princess Street, Deal, Kent^G, and was recorded in the census as Richard Sackett, a publican, aged 25 and born in Kent. The other members of his household were his wife Sarah, aged 25 and born in Kent, and his sons, Richard, aged six, and John, aged three.^12,13
     Richard left his wife Sarah in 1850. On 14 October of that year, Sarah was tried at the Dover quarter sessions accused of "larceny in a dwelling house to the value of £5." The court acquitted her, finding her not guilty. She was named in the record as Sarah Ann Kemp alias Sarah Ann Sackett.¹⁴
     Records for Richard and Sarah in the 1851 census have not been found but by 1861 he was living at 9 Harrow Cottages, High Street, Stratford, Essex^G, and was recorded as Richard Sackett, a tin plate worker, head of household, married, aged 48, and born in Ramsgate, Kent. Also in the household were his "wife" Mary, aged 40, and born in Epping, Essex, and Mary Webb, a visitor, aged 20. It would appear that his "wife" Mary would be Mary Webb who he was to marry in 1867 and it is conjectured that the other Mary Webb would have been her daughter.¹⁵
     In 1862 and 1867 Richard Sackett was recorded in Kelly's Directory as a zinc & tin worker, of High Street, Stratford, Essex.^16,17 In 1872 he was recorded in Kelly's as a zinc and tin worker of 92 High Street, Stratford.¹⁸ It is noted that Sarah described herself as unmarried in 1861, her husband having left her eleven years earlier, but by 1871 she described herself as a widow although Richard, with whom she was presumably not in contact, did not die until the following year, 1872. In 1871 Sarah was still living in Thomas Erridge's household at 123 Middle Street^G and was recorded as Sarah Sackett, a servant (housekeeper), a widow, aged 55, and born in Deal.¹⁹
     In 1861 Richard's first wife Sarah was living at 123 Middle Street, Deal, Kent^G, in the household of Thomas Erridge, a boatman, and was recorded as Sarah Sackett, housekeeper, unmarried, aged 48, and born in Deal.²⁰
     In 1871 Richard was living at 92 High Street, Stratford, Essex^G, and was recorded as Richard Sackett, a tinman, head of household, married, aged 59, and born in Dover, Kent. Living with him were his "wife" Mary, aged 54, "son" Arthur, a tinman, aged 22, and born in Ramsgate, Kent, and Henry Doe, a boarder. (The "son" Arthur would have been Richard's nephew, Arthur Edward Sackett, son of Robert George and Judith (Fegen) Sackett).²¹
     Both of Richard's wives had to resort to the charity of the workhouse in their later years, Sarah in Eastry, Kent, and Mary in Leyton, Essex.
     The 1881 census shows that Mary was then an inmate at the West Ham Union & School, Leyton, Essex^G. She was recorded as Mary Sackett, inmate, a widow aged 62 and born in Epping, Essex.²²
     In the same year Sarah was living at the Union Workhouse, Eastry^G, and was recorded as Sarah Sackett, inmate, a widow aged 71 and born in Deal, Kent. (Although the stated age of 71 is at variance with other references which suggest she would have been 65 or perhaps 68, the place of residence and the birth place both support a conclusion that this would have been Sarah the widow of Richard).²³
     In 1891 Richard's widow Mary was living at 37 Oriental Road, West Ham, Essex^G, and was recorded in the census as Mary Sackett, a widow, aged 71.²⁴
