Plot 1151 Janet Bevan (1865-1946) (revised)
Janet was born 13 October 1865 in Marylebone, London.
In 1881 she was a boarder at the St Marylebone Charity School for Girls. It was founded in 1750 for poor and destitute children and by 1833 had over 100 students. Girls were taught reading, writing, arithmetic, religion, sewing, and cooking. Students would attend this school until the age of 15, when they left to find work in local households. This is doubtless where Janet learned her needlework and lace-repairing skills that were her profession as an adult.
She never married.
In 1901 Janet was a lodger in a large boarding house at 89, Upper Gloucester Place, Marylebone. She had one room and was a dressmaker.
In Kelly’s Directory for 1905 Janet is listed as a lace cleaner, resident at 12, Iverson Road, Kilburn, London.
In 1911 she was recorded in the census at 88, Glengall Road, Willesden, the home of George and Mary Soons and described as a “Friend”. She was a self-employed lace mender.
In 1921 she was living alone at 88, Glengall Road, Willesden and was employed in the needlework department of Messrs Toye & Co, masonic outfitters, in Red Lion Square, London WC.
The 1939 Register records her living at 58, Charles Street, Berkhamsted with spinster Mary Gardner. Both were of independent means.
Mary died 20 November 1944.
Janet died 31st July 1946 in the Three Counties hospital in Stotfold, Beds. Probate was granted to HM Treasury solicitor, implying that she had no relatives.
