On the GRO registrations for Eliza Ann and for John William, the mother's maiden name is given as Youngs, and it is listed as Young, singular, on all the rest.

In 1871, John Sach (29) Agricultural Labourer, was at Barnes Farm, Prittlewell, with Eliza Sach (30), Walter Sach (7), Eliza Sach (3) and Ellen Sach [Edith] (1), as well as two Lodgers, John Beauman (29) and John Austria (24).

In 1881, living at 1, Wick Cottages, Southchurch, Rochford, Essex, listed as James Sach (39) Agricultural Labourer, born in North Benfleet, Essex, is head of the household, with wife Eliza (40) from Laindon Hills, Essex. They list the children as Eliza Edith (11) - assume they mean Eliza Ann - born in Prittlewell, Essex, then Edith (8) born in Latchingdon, Essex - clearly, they've transposed the two birthplaces; then Alice (6), John (2) and Harry (0), the last three born in Southchurch, Essex. Also in the household were four lodgers: John Clemence (31), George West (20), Charles Prentice (19) and James Bush (20), all also Agricultural Labourers. George West and James Bush were from Hockley, Essex, where John's parents lived. His mother, Sarah's, maiden name was reputedly West.

In 1891, listed as Edith Sack (sic), then 18, was working as a General Servant Domestic for an Optician in Sebert Road, West Ham (She later married James Peterken in West Ham in 1897 and this explains why she was in the area.) That year also, Alice Sach (16) was employed as a Domestic Servant to Arthur G Endicott (28) Confidential Clerk, in Princes Street, Prittlewell, Essex. 

In 1901, John Sach (58) Horseman on farm, from North Benfleet, Essex and wife Eliza (59) from Laindon Hills, Essex, were living in Clay Street, Great Wakering, then a village in the Rochford District in Essex, approximately four miles east of Southend-on-Sea, although like most of the villages they lived in, is now a suburb of that city. Alice Sach (26) was still employed as a Domestic Servant by Arthur Endicott in Prittlewell. (Alice Sach never married: she was listed in Rochford in 1921, Benfleet in 1939 and died a spinster, aged 65, in 1941.)

John Sach (67) was buried on 13 Mar 1909 at St Nicholas, Great Wakering. 

In 1911, Eliza Sach (70) Widowed, OAP was living in High St, Gt Wakering.

Eliza Sach (74) was buried, on 18 Feb 1915, also at St Nicholas, Great Wakering.
