March 2011 page on my blog—
I have recently heard from Mary who grew up in the town of Withy Ditch in England. She sent me information on both the Ann Carter and Margaret Saunders Withy Ditch School samplers. Wonder how they ended up here in the US?
Mary sent me this link which shows photos of the parish church and also Withy Ditch School! Beautiful countryside photos.

She also sent me part of the town census 1841 and 1851 which lists each girl and her family members.
