Long shot, but I am trying to reunite a Poetry book for young peopel, with its first owner, or their family. Possibly a lovely piece of history someone would like to claim back??

It belonged to:

Sarah Ann Lockell
Hutton Wansley
York

I do not have any years sadly, and cannot find when the book was published, it is called 'The Standard Authors Readers 5 - Shakspeare(spelt like that) Fifth Reader, 1/9' and it was published by Griffith & Farran, London.

[EDIT]The first edition of the book, which looks like it is infact this one, is written in 1882, which I have established through the bibliographies at the back of the book, anything to do with the present day was followed by (1882) [EDIT]

If you could help either by claiming that person as your relative, finding any information on that person that could lead me to her relatives, or possibly tell me when the book was published so myself and others are able to narrow down our search, I would really appreciate it. Thanks.
