Thanks Tati !

I had a feeling she died young ... I didn't expect to see her on 1901 !  :-\

It's funny I knew nothing about her and couldn't find anything about her .... I'd better get the death cert I think !  :'(

Number of people with different names in that plot which suggests she is not buried with family but you may recognise some of them if you are lucky. (although sadly they are more likely to be strangers) :-[

She was very young..shame.
