Noted events in her life were:
• source. Fran Rees who notes:
She was a governess, an excellent needlewoman and taught music to Queen Victoria's children as Osborne House, East Cowes, Isle of Wight, where she also became matron.
Granddad Charles and his second wife Phillipa (Thorold) lived in Erin Cottage at the corner of Fellowes Road, with a large garden at one side of it and a small garden in front, with a Myrtle tree, which I loved. Phillipa used to go to Osborne House and teach piano to the Queen's children \endash having had to play to Queen Victoria first. Granddad and Phillipa used to walk to Trinity Church every Sunday morning \endash he in a top hat and morning coat and she in a black lace cape. In winter she used to wear a black respirator over her mouth attached by fine elastic to her ears! Later they came to the Methodist Church and then to the chapel at the bottom of Victoria Road. The Rev Bailey of Trinity Church and Granddad were good friends and he (The Rev) used to visit and say to him "You know your Bible much better than I do".
