Catherine Ann Horton
Catherine Ann Horton was the youngest child of
Henry Horton and his wife
Emma nee Blakeman who are buried at
E 8.2. She did not marry.
Catherine was born in 1858 in Stoneleigh and baptised there on 1 August that year. Her father was a labourer and the family lived at Pipes Mill. When she was 12 she lived (at least at the time of the 1871 census) with her widowed grandmother Ann, who was blind, although a few years later Ann was to go to live in the almshouses.
Catherine does not appear in the 1881 census but reappears in 1891, living back at home with her parents and working as a laundress. No occupation is given for her in the 1901 census when she still lived with her parents. Her mother died in November 1906 and Catherine herself died on 16 June 1909, aged 51.
