Note on Marriage

Youngest of 6 children of Dissenters Steven and Joanna. All baptised in May 1821 in Woodchester.

Note on Husband: Richard CHANDLER

Lived at Chalford

Note on Wife: Johanna MERRETT

According to the 1881 census, her husband Richard was listed as a widower - perhaps this was because it was shameful to admit that she had been committed to the asylum?

That was in 1869 but she still appears along with her husband in the 1871 census.

I can't find her in the 1881 census.
