Margaret Annie BOTHWAY 1890 - 1924
Margaret Annie BOTHWAY 1890 - 1924
Margaret Annie Bothway, later to be Peters, is a somewhat mysterious character. Her link to Wreningham is a little light, being where she was baptised, her inclusion on her brother’s memorial and living at Canal House on the Wreningham/Ashwellthorpe border. Her marriage to a “planter” , Thomas Estwicke Peters, and the four found travels (maybe more) leaves a pictures of a lady who had a very varied and interesting life.
