  • Notes 
    • Esther Jane was born on 28 August 1854 and baptised on 20 September 1854 in St. Andrews, Deal. She married Albert Yarrow who came from Thetford, Cambridgeshire on 9 December 1879 in the Church of St. John the Evangelist at Kilburn. At the time of the marriage Albert said he was living in Strand Street, Sandwich and Esther at 9 Cambridge Street, South, one presumes that this was in or near Kilburn. The witnesses to the wedding are interesting as they were Alice Mary, her sister, and Henry Harding, Charlotte's widower. In 1881 Albert and Esther were living at 17 Strand Street in the district of St. Peter in Sandwich. Albert was aged 28 and working as a Clerk in a wine merchant's store. He later became a commercial traveller.

      In 1891 Esther and Albert were still at the same address and there were no children.

      In 1910 she was living still at Strand Street with her husband. Hilda and Ethel visited her most years and Douglas Browne met her when later she was living in Deal.

      Esther died a widow on 5 April 1941 aged 86, in the mental hopstial, St. Cuthbert out in Wells. She was evacuated there because of the Second World War. Her death was registered by the superintendent.

      According to her Will, signed in 1931, she had been living at Trevlyn, Dover Road, Walmer. The Will was proved to the surviving executor, her solicitor. She left GB3,024 gross making GB2,490 net. The other two executors had been Charles Edward Brown, husband of her niece, Ethel, as well as Felix Dickeson Bolton, husband of her late niece, Mabel Alice Bolton.

      Esther left GB20 to her godchild Daisy Louisa Bussey. GB20 each to her nieces, Esther Jennings, Doris Kennett and Mabel Annie Collier, and GB20 to Vera Carpenter, spinster of King Street, Sandwich. The rest of the money was shared between Ethel Mary Brown, Hilda Milly Browne and the children of Mabel Bolton deceased. In a codicil she left GB200 to Daisy Bussey of Effingham, Dover in addition to the GB20 previously left her and GB30 to a friend.
