Sarah Dazley

She grew up to be tall with big brown eyes and long auburn hair, and when she was 19 she married Simon Mead.

Shortly after the move, she gave birth to their son Jonah, but he became ill and died at only seven months old.

William Dazley grew quite ill and his wife and her stepdaughter began to take care of him.

The local doctor, Dr. Sandell, gave William prescriptions that brought on signs of recovery while under the care of Ann Mead.

After taking it, Mead became ill and shared similar symptoms with William: vomiting and stomach pains.

William eventually decided to take his wife's lethal drugs and died on 30 October 1842.

After being discovered in London by Superintendent Blunden of Biggleswade Police, Dazley insisted she was innocent of any crimes.

Judge Baron Alderson sentenced Sarah Dazley to death by hanging.
