Could she be related to Vice Admiral Alexander Thomas Emeric Vidal,he is buried not far from Arlington Villas and died at 13 Sion Hill Clifton,also only a short walk from Arlington Villas  in 1863.

There are so many Vidals around here and in Jamaica.  We understood Ellen was here at school with Vidals as 'chaperones' so seems like a possible connection.   There were also a lot of Rowe connections with th Bristol area so likely wheels within wheels.   A sideline for he future maybe!
