Sarah’s Story: the joys and sorrows of a 19th Century Quaker Woman
A talk/presentation by QFHS member Hilary Evens
Hilary spoke briefly at our January meeting about her discovery of two spoons and other family artefacts linked to the Cutforth and Tawell families, and her presentation will give more background to Sarah (1802-1884) who was widowed when her second husband John Tawell was executed for murdering his mistress in 1845. Sarah (formerly Cutforth, neé Appleby) had a very interesting life in her own right.
The presentation covers Quaker networks, Quaker membership in the 19th century in Britain, problems in researching women’s lives and general research issues and sources.
Sarah is Hilary's husband’s 2 x great grandmother.
