Sarah was baptised on 28 June 1854 in Bridlington (GRO ref: Bridlington 9d 267). Her GRO marriage and the 1911 census record her second name as Dorsey - see below, though Dosea has been recorded. Such a second name generally indicates a parents or family surname. An Ann Dorsey, was christened on 19 June 1794 in Great Driffield. There is no known connection.

Sarah's marriage to Henry Linsley
Whilst working as a domestic in East Lutton (14 miles / 22km north-west of Driffield) Sarah met Henry Linsley, a journeyman joiner from East Lutton. However, the family remember Sarah's surname as Lindsley. This has caused some confusion in the Enumerator transcription.

Frederick died in the first quarter of 1948 (GRO ref: Buckrose 2a 33) Buckrose was the 1937 registration district for the old Bridlington, Driffield and Pocklington districts.
Maria died in the second quarter of 1953 (GRO ref: Ryedale 1b 723) Ryedale was the 1936 registration district for Helmsley, Malton and Pickering districts). Their son also died in the same registration district.
Stanley Frederick Linsley - only child of Frederick and Maria
Stanley Frederick Linsley was the son of Frederick and Maria blanche Linsley. Family hearsay records one of Sarah's grand children as a Canon of Lichfield Cathedral and that after his curacy he returned to Lichfield and to the Cathedral. At this time Cathedral records can not substantiate this. However the records of Lichfield Theological College show:
Stanley Frederick Linsley was admitted to the college by the bishop on 24 October 1927. He passed the Durham matriculation in June 1928, his GDE part 1 in October 1928 and part 2 in March 1929. He was made deacon in the Trinity Term of 1929 and went to Holy Trinity, North Ormesby in the diocese of York.

Nafferton Post Office from the 1910 Valuation Survey
'The Valuation Survey 1910-15 was made for tax administration following the 1910 budget. They show the use and value of lands and buildings in Edwardian England and Wales. ... [It was] aimed to ensuring that private landowners should pay part of the increase in land values that was attributable not to their own labour and efforts for improvements but to expenditure by the State - for example the provision of improved roads, drainage and other public services. ... The 1910 Act provided for the levying of a number of duties on land, the principal one being called increment value duty. This was levied at the rate of 20% on any increase in the site value of land between the time of its initial valuation as at 30 April 1909 and the occasion of its sale or other transfer.' ... Many land owners won legal challenges the Act until it 'was repealed by the Finance Act 1920. The valuation survey had cost two million pounds, not a fraction of which was recovered.'

| Alan Bebbington was the freehold owner and occupier of the house, shop
and garden of an unknown extent in High Street Nafferton. The building was described as
a brick and slate roof construction comprising of a shop, room, kitchen, four bedrooms
and a store. Outside was a brick and tile washhouse and closet stable and coach house.
The premise were in fairly good repair. However, the wooden coal shed was 'almost down'.
In total repairs were estimated at £1:10:0 (One pound ten shillings or £1.50).
The Gross Value of the property was £300 being the annual value of £16:10:0 (£16.50) less the value of the repairs multiplied by 25 years. The site value void of structures and things growing was £45. Right: 1910 Valuation Survey showing Nafferton Post Office |
