hello I dont know about what you think, but if you look at the addresses it seems like she is, perhaps living on an attached cottage to the farm. Sharmala. |

hi The cottage (if it is) would have been paid for by the parish and perhaps she had fallen on hard times if her husband had died and needed somwhere to live a bit like Alms housing. Sharmala. |
