[WED]Burr/Holt Mystery

[John Hayward]

Hi Lynn

For a start Binegar is north of Shepton Mallet, about 4 miles on the A37.
For villages try www.ukvillages.co.uk look at Sweffling in Suffolk to see an
entry of mine.

Presumably you have looked at Glastonbury for Annie Burr's baptism, of
course she was not necessarily baptised!

Quite why she was not working is a mystery, but it was unusual then for
children to still be at school especially girls. If Holt and Annie were not
related I can't quite see why she should be there, unless she was the
daughter of a wealthy man who paid Holt to look after her and there is no
record. She could have been bright and the Parish paid for the education
through a local charity
