Hello,

I have just come across your post about the Cliff Hotel. I was wondering if you have any information specifically about the hotel or when the Nuttals bought it etc. I am a descendant of Sophia Chapman, an owner of the hotel from the 1850s to the 1860s-70s.

I have some information already from victorian directories but any more would be very much appreciated.

My GGG grandmother, Sophia Coulbeck died in 1885. I'm ideally looking for more information surrounding her death. The circumstances seem interesting.

The last census she appears on, as living with her husband and children, is 1871. Her last child was born circa 1879. The 1881 census has her living with her mother. All her children are living with their father. Her entire family lived in Cleethorpes, Lincolnshire. The record of her death states that she died in Lincoln in 1885.

I have a hunch she may have died in some sort of institution. Early on in my research I think read something that I foolishly brushed aside and no longer recall what it was.

Any help to shed some light on her death would be much appreciated. Also, this is my first ever post on Rootschat.com. I really hope there is someone out there who can help me ...
