Plot x200 Ann Preston (née Dean) (1833-1892)
Ann was born 25 September 1833 to John and Zilpha Dean. Her father was an agricultural labourer.
She was baptised in Box Lane Independent Chapel, Hemel Hempstead, 16 February 1834.
In 1841 she was living with her family in Potton End
Ann married labourer George Preston 28 January 1855 in Boxmoor. At the time they were both living in the area.
John was born in Hemel Hempstead in 1856, followed by Daniel in 1858. The family had moved back to Berkhamsted by 1860 when Ann was born. The 1861 census records them living in Red Lion Yard, a very insalubrious area off the High Street. George was an agricultural labourer.
Henry Ernest was born in 1869 and in 1871 they had moved to Victoria Road, a much more pleasant area. William Lewis was born 1873.
By 1881 their situation had improved again. George was a carman – driving a horse-drawn delivery vehicle – and they lived in Mill Street. Unmarried son Daniel was still at home and was a “brewhouse man”. They also had a lodger.
By 1891 George and Ann were living alone in Mill Street and he was, once again, an agricultural labourer.
Ann died 22 November 1892 at Provident Place aged 68. George survived her until 1899 and is buried here with her.
Son Henry lies in plot 738 and son George in 610.
