Unmarked grave Jane Cadwell (née Haddow) (1861-1937)
Jane was born in January 1861 in Little Brickhill, Buckinghamshire, the daughter of Richard Haddow, an agricultural labourer, and his wife Ann (née Walker). In April 1861 they lived in Bull Lane, Little Brickhill with their three sons and two daughters.
By 1871 the family had moved to the High Street in Little Brickhill. Richard was a labourer and Ann a lace maker. Two of their young sons were still at home and employed as labourers and Jane was attending school.
By the time she was twenty in 1881 Jane was employed as a general domestic servant at New Farm, Dagnall, working for unmarried farmer Jesse Gadsden and his two sisters.
She married Thomas Cadwell, a blacksmith, in 1889 in the Luton district. The couple were to have no children. In the censuses from 1901 to 1921 Jane and Thomas were shown as living at 52, High Street, Berkhamsted.
Circumstances must have forced them into Nugent House at 241a High Street.
(effectively the workhouse) because at the time of Thomas’s death in June 1932 this was his address. Jane survived him by five years and died aged 76 at Hempstead House, the Hemel Hempstead equivalent.
She was buried here with Thomas 3 December 1937.
