FAMILY HISTORY DOCUMENTS (for sale)

(Latest update of this page - 13/12/2011)

119b - Mary Frances Hatton was only 10 years old when she completed her Sampler in 1823. Mainly embroidered in exquisitely tiny cross-stitch, she enhanced some areas with satin stitch. Mary must have enjoyed sewing, because she filled her fabric with as many motifs (which include 21 birds - of various breeds such as owls, peacock, pigeon and 3 buildings - possibly garden features on a Family Estate) as she could.  This Sampler has been conserved by being hand sewn onto natural unbleached Irish linen, before being framed and glazed. A little research on the internet shows that a Mary Frances Hatton was born on 3/9/1812, and christened on 4/10/1812 at Saint Saviour, Southwark,  and that her parents were Thomas Hatton and Frances, his wife. It is very likely that this is the Mary Frances who made the Sampler 10 years later. Note: this information has not been verified with the parish registers. £645 (postage not included).
