Emma Winter, 41, was classified as an imbecile; no such thing as polital correctness in those days. After the death of her parents, she was cared for by her brother James and his wife Rhona; they lived in a cottage opposite to The Crown pub, Boyne Hill, Maidenhead with their 5 children. Both buildings are still there. January 1875, James accidentally shot Emma after coming home from rabbit shooting. At the inquest, held in The Crown, all the neighbours testified that Emma had been well loved and cared for. A verdict of accidental death was given. www.royalmaidenhead.co.uk
