In 1861 she was living with her parents, so doesn't seem to have been married despite her status in 1901. She was a milliner. Her father was a grocer. |

She was a widowed "inmate" in 1901 in Yarmouth workhouse. Listed as a lunatic. She dies in 1912 but I can't see her in the 1911 census. |

I didn't look at census records Guinevere, but did google her and read a transcription of the sampler. It is apparently at a local museum until beginning of March so i may well go and take a look :-) |

I haven't done so but there was a lot on the radio about it so I am sure it raised loads of interest. What did you find? |

Please tell me I'm not the only one who delved into census records looking for Lorina Bulwer who made that sampler. |

MMA sorry to hear about your injury and hope you will soon be mobile and out of pain. I don't get to Dereham much especially now my elderly friend and ex neighbour has died, I am not that friendly with her daughter in Toftwood, that I would visit. We went to Sheringham just over a week ago, all much the same altho I didn't walk to the prom. We use Dave's fish and chip shop in Co-operative street, do you? I bet if you are in Cromer you go to Mary Jane's. |
