Born about 1767.

A family story tells that ...


Judith's mother was born at The Shay.

While still at school, she ran off to London with an artist (some say a sculptor) where she had two children: Judith and a son.

Judith's father died when she was about 9 and her mother brought the children back to Halifax [around 1776].

However, when Judith's mother tried to approach her family at The Shay, she was turned away. They then went to stay at the White Swan in Halifax, where her mother died.

One wonders if – perhaps – she committed suicide.

Judith said that a gentleman came in a large carriage and took away her brother, whom she never saw again.

Judith was sent to the poorhouse, and was soon taken in by a kindly family

 


Question: Does anyone know which family rejected her at the Shay? or which family took Judith in?

 

She died in Halifax [7th January 1850]
