Lady Elizabeth Rich.
Head stone found in Wivenhoe church yard.
Lady Elizabeth Rich ,Wife of Daniel Rich. She was born 1813 died 1842.
How did a titled Lady end up being buried at Wivenhoe.
Sorry don't know her maiden name, but was she titled before she was married?
In the 1841 census, Daniel Rich was living in East Street, occupation a mariner. Thanks Chris
.
Her death was registered as Ann Elizabeth Rich, and she's listed as Ann in the 1841 census. I'm just wondering in Ann somehow was misread as "Lady"? Thanks Chris. i will check the headstone again.
Have checked the parish records, Ann Elizabeth Rich buried Feb. 7th 1842. aged 29 years.
I must have misread the headstone. John. Admin.
