In 1736 they moved with their five children to the Hamlet of Hallatrow, which is in the parish of High Littleton. Although the family had moved to High LIttleton, they were still regarded as "belonging" to Paulton. This meant that in their old age George and Sarah turned to Paulton for help and received payments from the overseers of the poor of that parish. They were buried in Paulton, at least Sarah was and almost certainly George as well. The burial registers of Paulton show: Sarah Dandoe, wife of George Dandoe of Hallatrow, buried 13 Jan 1769. Exactly four years later is a burial which almost certainly for her husband - George Dandoe an old man was buried 13 Jan 1773.
