My Mary Ann JEFFERY was a cook at this school – ‘Educational Home’ in Torrington Place on the 1881 Census. I was wondering if there were any records/photos available of this establishment that may add to my family history, such as her length of employment etc. Mary Ann died at Plymouth in 1911. She was born in Ashprington 1836. I have not been able to trace her so far on 1871/1891/1901 census. She was transcribed as MATY A JEFFREY in 1861 being a servant for Stephen BRIGGS, Licensed Victualler in Plymouth in 1861. Any trace of Mary Ann, and also her brother John, (a shoemaker, like his father) b. 1833 would be really appreciated. Regards Hazel FORD Australia
Hi Hazel, I think she may be on the 1891 census transcribed as JEFFERS and with a birth year of 1839: There is a Mary A Jeffers aged 52, born Ashprington, Cook Domestic a visitor at 4 Sanford Road, Cockington. Head of household is Joshua Shepcott.
