Discover Your History Magazine
My second article has been published in the October 2013 issue of the Discover Your History magazine.
This month’s story, appearing on pages 36 and 37, is about my great-great-grandmother, Sarah Louisa Oliver. It tells the tale of Sarah’s turbulent relationships, how she ran away to Australia and had a child by John George Waldegrave Barnes, a man she never married. She returned to England with just her child and took up with William Elbert Dando, my great-great-grandfather, whom she’d previously been engaged to.
After marrying William and having a son, the relationship quickly disintegrated, leading to some unpleasant goings-on, which included Sarah’s arrest. William tried to divorce Sarah without success and eventually bigamously ‘married’ another woman.
