Narrative and Notes

Rachel was born in about 1842. At the time of her marriage to John WEAVER she was living in Lower Norton. Her father was a gardener.

Rachel's husband, John WEAVER, died in 1873, and by 1881 she is working as a nurse for the BAKER family in Bordesley, Warwickshire. The mother, Emma BAKER, was born in Cofton Hackett, as was Rachel's mother, so was likely to have been known to the family.
