ORME.â€â€On June 22, 1937, at Streatham, Eliza, daughter of the late Charles Orme, in her 89th year.
Trying to tie down the poss date Eliza visited the blackcountry, I think between 1901 & 1905 (Mary Ann Tibbetts age & death of J Russell)
http://www.newmanlocalhistory.org.uk/wp ... -vol13.pdfIn her first visit Eliza speaks to a Miss Mary Ann Tibbets, a woman between 50 & 60. Mary Ann's brother & two nephews work together..
I believe this is Mary Ann
