Find Ancestors

Sarah is my Great Grand Mother and I am trying to find out more about her. She was born 1859 in Beccles Suffolk and had a son Basil Wilfred 1887. From the information I have been able to find. I believe that she was in domestic service most of her life in the Norfolk and Suffolk area, 1901 she was a visitor in Wavertree Lancs. the last thing that I have been able to find about her was her will and that I think she died in Walton Felixstowe I believe her date of death was May 27th.1934 aet. 76. I would be grateful if anybody could help me in finding out more about her if she was living with her son when she died;who owned the house in Felixstowe address 27 King Street
