Hi Christine, Her name was Sara Ann Molden or Moldon nee Lewis. Sne was born in 1873.was married age 23 She was said to have been in the Carmolite convent,but came out and was married from her husbands address 6o Bulware st Everton Liverpool . I have contacted the convent where she was thought to have been. They said they carnt find any record but wouldnt be on record if she wasnt there long. Said it takes 7 years to get their habit, so i dont know how long they mean .The convent was in Liverpool Hope this is of help. Thank you for all the trouble your taking Regards Margaret
