William Charles Augustus Sedgwick [James Woodward Sedgwick / Eliza Emma Lance]
b. circa 1841 Walworth, Surrey
m. Mary Ann Sanders 1865 (BMD)
d. 1927 Plaistow

This is a very interesting Sedgwick. He is one of the most famous of the showmen having travelled as a photographer and as a menagerist. All his family were part of the travelling community and were born and married across England.

Phoebe's husband John Scarfe was prosecuted for bigamy in 1894. Does anyone know the outcome of the case? The couple 'remarried' and were living together in 1901.
