I`m inclined to agree with you Annie, I spotted her and couldn`t find a better match anywhere

I have seen the Rosanna, and i thought it may have been her also.

I was just thinking ... how awful it must have been for her ....  

looks like she wasn't able to move away ...... probably no money and probably by 1851 the grandparents were gone ! ........ imagine the "stigma" she had to bear !!

My heart goes out to her !!

I think it is all a horrible sad case, she poisioned her husband, he worked in a pub so i assume he was a drunken bully, thats why she murdered him. and the poor daughter losing both parents.

[SueTeakle]

I was thinking the same Annie, she was just a baby and it seems so unfair

There is a marriage in September 1881 for a Rosanna Tarver & John Henry Long, registered in Shipston on Stour which covered Chipping Campden then..........a possibility I suppose

Well now we've all flooded our keyboards   .... where do we go from here ?

I was looking to see if there was a Chipping Campden girl in 1861 - either Ann Anna or Rosanna  but nothing came up !! .... I imagine she either got married - so is under another name - or she's emigrated somewhere !

Is she a relation of yours tww ? do you know anything else about her family ?

Thats interesting, it would be nice if she had a happy life. I will have a look at that now thank you.

Yes she is a distant rellie of mine.
