GRAVE OF THE MONTH
Jane Fisher Todd 1839-1933

Jane was born in St Peter Port, Guernsey, daughter of Henry Fisher and Amelia (née Perry) Todd.

By 1851 her father had died, and her mother was a school mistress on Alderney. Jane was still living on Alderney with her mother, brother Alfred, and sister Elizabeth Alice.

By 1871 her mother had taken a job at the National School at Greenham. Jane was living there with her

mother and older sister Amelia Priaulx Todd.

By 1887 she was sharing a house in Craven Road with her sister Hanna and another teacher Clementina Calisé, when their live-in servant, Mary Ann Porter, caught fire while reading late at night and died. Jane gave evidence at the inquest.

By 1921 Jane was living on St John’s Road with sisters Hanna and Elisabeth Alice, all retired teachers.

Later the sisters moved to the new houses in St George’s Avenue, built as Homes for Heroes after WW1. Jane died there at No 20 in 1933.
