Research Notes
Residence in 1892 is presumed to be Greenwich. Death in Morland is consistent with having returned home for the birth of her first child and dying in childbirth. This is speculation only.
Marriage 1887 and burial 1892: Family search record is ambiguous as to location which is either Kirkby Stephen or Morland. Marriage confirmed by newspaper article as Morland. Burial assumed to be the same.
