Life story

Life story

Henrietta Eliza Sharood (nee Pitman) was born in Manitoba Canada to Thomas and Susan Pitman. She didn't stay in Canada long after her birth, as her parents were back in England by 29th April 1850 when they had Henrietta baptised at St. Thomas, Launceston, Cornwall, they were living at New Road, St. Thomas, Launceston. Thomas didn't work, but was an annuitant, meaning he received an annuity possibly through shares, land owned or a pension.

In 1878 Edward, Henrietta and their Daughter's Ethel and Lilian moved to Vancouver Island, Canada. Here Edward served at the Royal Naval Esquimalt Hospital as Staff Surgeon and by 1881 they were living in Metchosin, which is on the southern most tip of Vancouver island.   On the 16th June 1883 he was promoted again to Fleet surgeon.  In 1891 Henrietta, Edward and their family have returned to England and they are living at 2 Blackheath Drive, Lewisham, London.  Edward retired from the Fleet on the 25th June 1893.
