ok, thank you all,
is it possible that the trunk first belongend to the previous wife of mr. Lees or did she simply dislike the name Mathilda and called hersef Olivia Lees?

The Common Room / Half trunk of Mrs. M.O.G. Lees
« on: Sunday 05 January 14 06:24 GMT (UK) »
i own a socalled "Half (or Lady) trunk" that belonged to a Mrs. M.O.G. Lees. The initials on the trunk are "O.L" (her husband?). The trunk is made by "The National". I know that a US-company with the simialar name (The national Trunk company) was shorlty in excistence, but that had a different logo. Can anyone place this Mrs. M.O.G. Lees. According to a label she came back in London again. On some NZ-passenger lists i found mentions of a Mrs Lees with servant and a mr. Lees, but i dont know if the surname Lees was/is very common in the UK. She travelled with the steamer Andes and Argentio (?) (and lots of other ships).

Sussex / Re: Sampler SUSANNA QUINNELL 1836 Sussex?
« on: Sunday 05 January 14 05:34 GMT (UK) »
sorry for the misunderstandings, the sampler does not have her birthday on it, the sampler came from a Dutch household with more English items, one of them is a so called "half (or lady) steamer trunk" which belonged to a Mrs M.O.G. Lees (this trunk bears the initials "O L" = her husband?). perhalps that can make a clue with the sampler. i will make another post of this trunk later on.
as i understand it well, there are two possible candidates? one Susanna was married and one lived with her twin-sister? and the appearance of the house on the sampler is not a clue as too common?

hello jann,
you mean Plastow/Kirdford is not in Sussex? or her her birthday is in fact her christening date? i found that date in an earlier topic on this site, but that could be wrong (as a dutchman i do not fully understand everything)?

thanks roy, i think you are right, on Dutch samplers there is sometimes also the mention of young girls who should learn to make embroideries in order to become a good housewife in later days
