Hi, hope you don't mind me putting my two-pence worth in. You have probably already found and eliminated my candidate for your Sarah but here goes. Being a single lady, perhaps therefore having no one close to whom she could turn to for help and support, during what was obviously a very difficult time for her - [that is loosing her business/livelihood of some twenty years] - one can assume that she was pretty depressed. Arguably the traumatic upheaval precipitate her early demise. With this in mind was the Sarah who died in the March quarter of 1891 your Sarah? If, God bless her, Sarah died suddenly without family or an intimate friend in attendance, then perhaps the death informant did not know her correct age. This would explain the age discrepancy. Dying in March she obviously could not appear in the June, 1891 census. James.
