<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Figtree3, post: 2870926, member: 33&quot;]I like that, too! And am interested enough that I puzzled out the name and found a little information about Aunt Harriet. This is rather long and you may not be interested, but I hope you are, [USER=16501]@Van_Poperin[/USER] .</p><p><br /></p><p>The name is Harriet Frances Twemlow. She was born Harriet Frances Townshend in May of 1789, according to a pedigree chart in <font size="4"><i>The History of the Ancient Parish of Sandbach, Co. Chester</i>, which is digitized in Google Books. She married Thomas Twemlow. Here is a link to the page in the book where the pedigree chart/family tree is. I looked it up in archive dot org. Sometimes Google Books doesn&#039;t allow people in other countries to view the US version.</font></p><p><font size="4"><a href="https://archive.org/details/historyofancient00earw/page/110/mode/2up?q=twemlow" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="https://archive.org/details/historyofancient00earw/page/110/mode/2up?q=twemlow" rel="nofollow">https://archive.org/details/historyofancient00earw/page/110/mode/2up?q=twemlow</a></font></p><p><font size="4"><br /></font></p><p><font size="4">There is also a Jessie Barbara in the family tree in that book who might possibly be the niece who received the book. If so, she would be a niece by marriage. Jessie Barbara Armistead in 1871 was married to John Fletcher Twemlow, who was son of Francis Twemlow, brother of Thomas. They were married a very short time. John died in 1874. So Harriet gave the book to Jessie not very long after Jessie was widowed.</font></p><p><font size="4"><br /></font></p><p><font size="4">Papers of the Twemlow Family are in the National Archives in the UK. According to the description in the online guide to the papers, Thomas Twemlow is one of the main subjects of the papers. Thomas died in 1872 and his wife Harriet continued to live on the property until her death, which it appears was in about 1880, per some other sites I found.
