Dealers note: Margaret Wakefield (1789-1863) had six children, one of which, Sarah, died aged 14 in 1822. From the note attached to the writing board, that would indicate that the box was passed on either in 1822 after the death of Sarah or 1863 after the death of Mary. From the note it may have been the latter. There is a wealth of information online about this well known family.
