And also this !... I wonder if the child was put into an orphanage or even changed her name ??

21 year old Harriet Tarver of Chipping Campden was hanged on the 9th of April 1836 for the murder of her husband, Thomas, by poison.  She was the youngest woman to be executed at Gloucester in the 19th century.  It was claimed in a broadside, sold at her execution, that she was repentant and hoped that her “orphan child would take warning and shun vice and bad company”.  These claims of repentance were very popular in broadsides and may well have been pure invention.

Sorry Annie    I just had a feeling she would be with her mother`s family but wondered if she`d been given the surname Tracey.  I still haven`t found her in 1851 though so please feel free
