Life story

Life story

Ann was born in Heene, the daughter of William and Lucy nee Hart. She was baptised at West Tarring Church on 21st April 1874. Nothing is known of her youth except that in 1825, she gave birth to a daughter. Ann Cook Feest was baptised at Broadwater Church on 15th May 1825. Her mother is described as a single woman and her father's name is not entered on the parish record. Ann never married and in later years became a housekeeper at her brother's farm in Worthing. Her daughter found work in London and later married her employer John Walker in 1862. Ann visited the couple in 1871 just before her daughter died. Ann died at 50 Montague Street, Worthing on 12 May 1874. Probate was granted on 22 July to John Walker of 42 King Street, Camden Town. Effects under £1500.
