Person:Azubah Hare (1)

Azubah Margaret Hare or Eyre was born in 1858 at Firsby near Spilsby in Lincolnshire, daughter of Harriet Hare, formerly Parker, and her husband John Hare, an agricultural labourer. Azubah appears in both the 1861 and 1871 censuses living with her parents and siblings in Firsby.

The 1881 census finds Azubah at Sunbury in Middlesex, where she was visiting her sister Sarah and her husband.

Azubah was married back in Lincolnshire in 1885 to William Singleton, a carter. They settled at Burgh le Marsh, about four miles north-west of Firsby. They had four children together between 1887 and 1901, but only the eldest survived infancy. The other three all died shortly after being born.

The 1891 census finds Azubah and William and their son living on Brewery Lane in Burgh le Marsh, whilst in 1901 they were on Chapel Lane.

Azubah died later in 1901. Her youngest (unnamed) daughter's birth and death were also recorded in the last quarter of 1901, so it seems reasonably likely that Azubah died giving birth or shortly afterwards. Azubah was buried at Burgh le Marsh on 27th December 1901. She was 43.

William survived Azubah by over 23 years.
