Dear Pam and Sue
Thank you very much for your efforts.
I am amazed how much these girls got around.
They must have known people on every coalfield. Jane was so close to home , good, I'll sleep more easily! It is interesting that Jane was married and in Cramlington in 1851 when Eleanor was in service there. She must have got her the job. I wonder how they kept in touch; I can't imagine they were literate.
It is interesting that Ann (if she is indeed mine) was with lots of Hepplewhites ......... could point to the rellies.
