| Description | Sarah Farr, a 59 year old widow, requests to be admitted to the Hospital. She was born on 27 November 1782 and is the daughter of William and Sarah Everitt, who died at the French Hospital. Sarah's maternal grandfather, Gideon Jallant, was originally from Languedoc but came to England to avoid religious persecution and worked as a baker. Sarah was a servant until her marriage to William Farr, who died seventeen years prior to the petition being made. She then worked as a char and a washerwoman but can no longer do so due to asthma and lung disease. The petition bears Sarah Farr's mark and is signed by George Hurley. |
