In the Daily Mail March 7th was a report about a girl SARAH ANN DOBBINS from Hereford declared dead 1879 having been in a trance for three weeks.Her body laid out in preparation for burial and left in a locked room for the night.The next morning it looked as though she had moved a bit.A doctor was summoned and the girl survived.Fourteen years later she committed suicide by drowning herself in the River Wye.
I know this is Hereford but the name DOBBINS is often seen in Gloucestershire.Maybe someone has lost her.?
