  Notes	The following is taken from Dick Moore's 2015 story of Eliza Minter of Palgrave, Suffolk and her children. Clifford takes the surname SADLER for the 1871 and 1881 census which both record him as being born in Botesdale, Suffolk. He's missing from the 1891 census, but it's quite likely he's out of the country for he returns to the UK from Kingston, Jamaica, via New York in September 1895. Subsequent to this date he criss-crosses the Atlantic several times, leaving Liverpool for New York just before the outbreak of war on 3rd October 1914 on the SS Lusitania. Several of the shipping manifests give his place of birth as Botesdale, Suffolk and name his contact in the UK as Miss Ida M. Sadler of Redcroft, Earley, Berkshire, (sister). He returns to Avonmouth, Bristol via New York on 20th March 1927 and promptly on 26th March 1927 at the Register Office in Bristol, marries Millicent Rose GOWEN. He gives his age as 60, bachelor, a retired leather retailer of 10, Clifton Park, Clifton, father Francis SADLER deceased and she is age 39, spinster of 17, The Avenue, Clifton. For the 1939 register both Clifford and Millicent are described as Hotel Manager and Proprietress, respectively, living at 15-17, The Avenue, Bristol. By his Will dated 12th December 1940, Clifford SADLER leaves everything to his wife, but in the event that she predeceases him, he names Herbert SADLER, brother, of Writtle nr. Chelmsford, Essex; and John SADLER, (nephew), presently serving with the South African Forces; and his niece Hilda MORELAND, wife of Peter MORELAND, of St. Olave's Park Road, Southborough, Kent; as beneficiaries. Clifford died on 20th August 1946 and Millicent Rose died on 31st December 1959. According to England & Wales, National Probate Calendar (Index of Wills and Administrations), 1858-1966 at ancestry.com, Clifford's effects were £1485 2s 10d.
