The Diary of Nathaniel Bryceson (Part 7)

[Ruskie]

Ann is a conundrum .... but I can't imagine what Ann was like at all.

I agree, I find it extremely frustrating knowing so little about Ann. Nat is a bright lad and likes to keep company with her, so there must be something about her to keep his interest (obviously more than just physical).

I actually find this quite enlightening. Before reading Nat's diary and gleaning the little we know about Ann, I would have thought of a charwoman as someone who was uneducated and probably very poor. But Ann appears to be neither. So now I'll look at people with lowly occupations with a more open mind.

Hi everyone

I know I looked for Ann's  Baptism a while back but now, for the life of me, I can't remember her birthday. I know Nat mentioned it ...  does anyone remember the month?

Nat does mention it, but in a forthcoming entry I think.  The reason it was discussed on here already was because Steven gave us a sneak preview of that particular entry, having seen the full diary first-hand.  Unfortunately I can't remember which particular thread it was discussed in, or what the date was.

Thanks drykid, I thought I was going crazy not being able to find it.

Hi Deb! 

Ann Fox was born 9 October 1801

good job, Ruskie!!!!!! 

[Ruskie]

Unfortunately he doesn't mention where she was born (like he did for Matthew Ward  ).

Yes, I think Steven was being kind and putting us out of our misery by spilling the beans about Ann's date of birth before the event.

If you go back and check Ann in 1851 with Mrs. Kennington, on Stephen Street ..there is something written under the status column ...I am sure we have tried to decipher it before but I'm giving it another go !
