Sampler by Esther Whitehouse c1820
« on: Saturday 29 January 11 14:02 GMT (UK) »
If anyone out there has this sampler which was made by my great great grandmother about 1820, I would dearly love a photograph (digital or otherwise).
The sampler was in the possession of Iva Margaret Brown of Weston Super Mare in 1961 together with the family bible of her father Charles Padman Brown who was born in Grimsby in 1838.
When Iva M Brown died intestate in May 1973 her estate was administered by her brother James Maurice Brown of Exeter. It is unclear what happened to the sampler after that. It may have been handed down to his children/grandchildren or sold.
Any help much appreciated.
