In 1901 she was a Servant.536 She lived at at Workhouse in Hampstead, London, England in March 1902.538 Although Laura gives her address as 169 Sumatra Road at the christening of John Albert Ashford, it is likely that her employers had banished her to the Workhouse until after John's birth/christening (and beyond?). This is born out by the fact that John's christening took place in the Workhouse, and was performed by a W H HUNT who was NOT the Vicar of the parish. From the registers, it appears that all christenings performed by W H HUNT took place in the Workhouse.
