Sarah was much loved by this influential family. So much so, that in addition to her beautiful Victorian era gravestone with cast iron fencing around the plot, they also commissioned a photographer to take a Victorian Carte de visite CDV photo of her gravesite. Her actual stone is at St John-at-Hampstead Churchyard in Hampstead, London, Borough of Camden, England. This is a beautiful and rare Alcock family's own personal piece. It would have been placed in the family photo album as a mourning remembrance and memorial to their daughter Sarah Aphra.

Note: Hello from ~debra. I have spent years collecting over 10,000 ID’d lost family photos & paper from US flea markets & antique shops. I do the best gen research I can, but am always open to corrections. This is an original antique item, not a reprint. A new high quality rigid sleeve is included for extra protection, especially during shipping. You may buy a piece alone, or large intimate 300 dpi scans of the front and back sent immediately via email, or both. Please search carefully, as they are often found together and many may be related. I also invite you to join me at Ancestorville Genealogy on facebook. Thank you, enjoy! ~Debra Clifford (contact info on top bar)
