I would like help in tracing family members who lived in Colchester around the 1880’s.
My great grandfather, William Annette Pope, was a Unitarian preacher and had a wife Sarah Anne and five daughters. He died in 1882 and his widow was offered a position for a daughter (about 12 years old) in a school.
My grandmother Bertha was the lucky student and I believe her two younger sisters went there later. I’d appreciate hearing from anyone with knowledge of the family.
