What happened to Keturah after 1900, did she marry?

Found lots info on Keturah and her record was almost as bad as Luther Charles, will put on tomorrow but one of victims was Walter Bassano who she stole coal from

I knew I recognised that name...

http://bcconnections.tribalpages.com/tr ... ver=388275

San the Bassano family lived in a Big House at the top of Haden Hill. They had the most Beautiful Carriage and Horses. The locals would stand in the Street in awe watching them ride by.

Can't help feeling sorry for Keturah, she was probably cold! Did she have children at all? Only 4'10" weren't they tiny and probably under nourished back then, thank god times have changed.

Yeh it certainly seems like it Lin, coal and wool! I was wondering too if she ever had children

any connection to you Lin?

Nice one Mumbles! I've been searching for ages to see if I can find where the SKITT surname fits in but having no luck
