C and her little brothers were left living in army barracks when their father, a gunner in the Royal Horse Artillery, was put in prison. Their mother had died of sunstroke sometime earlier. C went into the Old Quebec Street Home in November 1882. The War Office deducted three pence per day from her father's salary as a contribution towards C's maintenance. In 1888 C went into service with a Miss L. Later on she went to India with a couple although the details of this are not clear. C's father was discharged from the army in February 1884. By March 1885 he was living in Massachusetts in the United States with other members of the family. |
