On 2nd June 1888, Emma Laflin (aged 26) and the daughter of Abraham Laflin, a labourer,
married William James Sage of Layham (a horseman aged 21) in Ringshall church. Their
daughter Emma Mary Sage was born in the last quarter of 1888 and their son Robert

In 1891, William and Emma Sage were living at 19 Back Street, Stoke-by-Nayland and

In January 1970, their daughter Emma Mary Sage died intestate and the main
beneficiaries of her will were the descendants of her two aunts Mrs Ann-Maria
Beaumont and Mrs Kate Barton and of her half-uncle William Laflin. (The descendants
of Jonathan Laflin, Thomas Laflin, Mrs Sarah Ann Orriss and Mrs Susan Caley
were not mentioned. This may mean that all their issue were dead by 1970 or
merely that they had completely lost touch with the rest of the family.)
