Rosalind Hodge. rosalind@rebutec.co.uk Her six year old son had been brought to court and questioned about his mother but the judge intervened and stopped this cruelty. Following the execution, he was replaced in the Hailsham Union House where he stayed for a few days before his aunt was removed by him. One cannot imagine the trauma suffered by this poor little boy who was my great grandfather's first cousin. For years I tried to trace him but as he was described as sickly I wondered if he survived. Eventually 13 years after my original research, I found him in the 1901 census aged 56, an engine driver living at Litlington. No virus found in this outgoing message. Checked by AVG Free Edition.
