My admiration goes out to my great grandma Annie Isabel Rice, Annie had a real tough life, loosing both parents before the age of 9, she was then placed in the workhouse, her brothers were sent on to live with relations. Annie eventually left the workhouse and married and settled in Middlesbrough, she sadly lost 3 babies, they are all buried together in Linthorpe, Middlesbrough.
Annie sadly does the year before I was born, I would have loved to have known her, my mum says she was a very proud lady. God bless them all
