| Notes |
- From https://www.findagrave.com/memorial/199524995/sarah-eleanor-wentworth
Sarah's original headstone still stands in the old British cemetery on the Greek island of Corfu. After the death of her father in March 1872, in accordance with his wishes, her mother commissioned the construction of a grand mausoleum in Vaucluse, NSW. Sarah's parents were living in England when her father died, and her mother wrote to Australia that she would travel to Brussels to order marble for the mausoleum. It would appear that while in Europe she also organised the repatriation of her daughter's remains, as the Corfu headstone bears a supplementary inscription: "The Remains of the above named were removed from the old British Cemetery to Sydney, N.S.Wales, 1872."
Death Notice:
"On the 23rd December, on her way to Palermo, for the benefit
of her health, Sarah Eleanor, third daughter of W. C. Wentworth,
Esq., aged 23 years."
