Living in the village of Wades Mill, Thundridge, Hertfordshire. Also listed at same address in 1861 Census.

The 1861 Census took place on the 7 April 1861. The couple do not appear in the 1871 Census. It looks as if William Tillcock died on the second quarter of 1861 (April-June) soon after the 1861 Census had been taken. It appears that Sarah Tillcock died in the last quarter of the following year (1862 October-December Ware 3a 133).
