I do find it strange that Sarah would know a solicitor.

Although my elusive Caroline Hannah Kendall who was a barmaid in the Windmill, 18 Nicholas lane, Lombard street EC3 and then married into a family of notaries, although not vastly wealthy a lot more well off than her and most people. Her husband's grandfather left quite a bit of money in his will but after his grandson died and although all married in wives had a mention and some money there was not one mention of Caroline.
