Y. Goldstein:
Rebecca had little if any schooling and learned to read as an adult, by studying with her older children at home, Before her marriage she worked in Fry's Cocoa Factory..
With Charles she was caretaker of "The Mission Hut". She attended services regularly and her children allhad to attend twice on Sundays, and also severala week for bible study. Despite this, several, if not all of children chose to be married at St. Benet and All Saint, and those known to grand daughter, Yvonne, were not regular attenders at church.
As money was short, the family income was supplimented by taking lodgers, and on at least one occasion a long time foster child, who was described as a " very naughty child" who eventually had to be " sent back". Rebecca also worked as a cleaner at an hospital.
She lost several children in their infancy, but lived to see the birth of all but on of her 47 grandchildren, as well as numerous great grand children. Her daughter ,May, who shared a home with her, described her as a mother, "as one of the best". Her grand daughter Lily, remembers her as being strict.
