How very very sad and tragic, he was jailed for sexual assault against his six year old daughter Rose! He plead guilty and was sentenced to only 22 months! It was his second sexual assault charge!

A possibility for Lizzie in 1901 at The Convent, Dover, Kent

Hi there Jom, Sharon & KGarrad.
Thank you all for the information you have passed on to me. I must say I was quite shocked to read some of the details. At times like these I realize just what a sad life so many people had back in those times. Lizzie's Mother died 1881 at the age of 39 yrs, her Father died 1892 age 50 yrs.
Can you let me know what Settlement Papers are please.
Once again, many thanks all of you. I really appreciate your help.
