Notes
Biography and image contributed by Robbie Titchener:
Sarah Ann Myram was born in Sussex, England in 1851, the daughter of Henry Myram (a farmer) and Sarah (nee Scutt). In the 1871 Census, she was working as a servant and, later that year, she married Thomas Loose, a farm labourer.
After the birth of their first two children, they sailed for NZ in December 1873, arriving in Christchurch in March 1874. Unfortunately, their 8-month old son, Sydney, died during the voyage. They would have another four children born in NZ.
