Biography

Clementina Lavinia Hall was born in 1821 to William Hall and Elizabeth Sarah (Underwood) Hall (1803-1865).

Marriage

Clementina married William John Weech, son of George Weech and Elizabeth Hall Weech, 20 November 1850 at The Wesleyan Chapel, Current, Eleuthera. The wedding was sanctified by the Rev. William K Duncombe, Rector of the Parish.

The couple had children - among them William Robert, William Edward, Claudius Norman, William Henry Robert, Mary Ann, Lavinia Alethia, Adriana, Emma Leticia, Adrian, Alethia Eliza, Clementina Virginia, and Edwin Cethegus Weech. Many of the children did not survive their infancy.

Clementina was a hat maker by trade.

In 1898, Lavinia witnessed the marriage of her nephew and signed his marriage document. It seems remarkable that an elderly woman of that era was able to write.
