The children named Balls have (Worledge) behind their names in brackets.
.In the 1901 census Sarah is Head of the family and is still at the same address which was renamed the "Railway Arms" on the 27/3/1883. Sarah takes over as Publican on the 23rd of March 1897. She died aged 65 in 1903.
The Pub is then taken over by Frederick Henry Abbs the husband of Sarah's daughter Sarah Frances Worledge. He ran it for a few years before it was taken over by William Balls. The pub was renamed "The FellmongersArms" and was in business till 1962 when it was demolished to make way for a traffic scheme.

Sarah Frances Worledge Head Widow 62 Publican.(Railway Arms)
Ann, Single, Daughter. 27 No Profession.
Maria, Single Daughter, 23 Tailoress, Worker.
John Nicholas. Single Son 16 Apprentice carpenter & joiner. Worker.
John is in many of the business and local directories under various headings. Fish Merchant. Fish Curer. His business address is given as 7 The Fishmarket Norwich. He also appears as a Licensed Victualler at the Fellmongers and Railway Arms. The same building renamed halfway through his tenancy.
John's fishmongering business was taken over by one George Thorpe who traded at both "The Fish Market" and 149 Waterloo Place in Norwich. He still traded under the name of John Worledge but he filed for bancruptcy in 1906. The name Thorpe would seem to suggest a relationship to John's wife Sarah but I have no evidence of this.
