<ref>His mother Maria died on 16 February 1859 at Brighton: "''The inscription is as follows: - "This stone is erected by Mr Thomas Sayers, in remembrance of a kind and affectionate mother. Maria, wife of William Sayers, born January 26, 1782, died February 16, 1859." It was thought, at the time of his decease, that "Tom" would have been laid beside his mother.
