Lucy ELSMORE (21 Jul 1853-25 Sep 1878 Big Bush Marlborough New Zealand)
m.12 May 1873 Monmouth, Wales Richard MORSE (08 September 1850 St Briavels, Gloucestershire, England-16 Sep 1877 Big Bush, Marlborough, New Zealand)
1.Amelia Jane MORSE(Mary Jane)(16 May 1874 West Dean, Gloucestershire, England-07 Sep 1953 Blenheim, Marlborough, New Zealand)
Richard MORSE died 10 months after coming out to New Zealand of Gunshot injuries whilst cleaning his gun.
I been trying to discover what factory Lucy ELSMORE worked in The Forest of Dean were she had her serious head injury. Lucy ELSMORE had very long hair and it was caught all the way up to her scalp in some machinery at this factory.
Any ideas what kind of factory work would of been around in those days for females to work in please? or what factory she had been working in were she had her accident?
Lucy ELSMORE’s family lived around Ellwood, Newland are she married Richard MORSE around the West Dean area. Richard MORSE came from Brookthorpe, Gloucestershire, England.
Not sure if it was before she married Richard MORSE or before she had Amelia Jane MORSE. But do know the family were advised to cross the Equator as a possible cure for her. She died a year after coming out to New Zealand of Brain Softing.
