    John's mother and sister were both called Sarah Harry. The Sarah who witnessed his marriage is considered more likely to be his sister, as she would mark (rather than sign) her marriage register three years later, whereas John's mother had signed her name when she had married, showing that she was literate, unlike the Sarah who witnessed John's marriage.
