Amelia Brough married Woodford Fawcett (1838-1912) in June 1864 in Shoreditch. She was a Temperance campaigner and President of the Tulse Hill and West Norwood branch of the British Women's Temperance Association. Buried in West Norwood Cemetery.
As is so often the case, we can discover far more about Amelia's male relatives than we can about her.
Woodford Fawcett had the address 30 Southampton Street, Strand and died at 41 Grove Lane, Kingston on Thames. Woodford Fawcett & Co printed the Optical Magic Lantern Journal (1889–1903) for the first three years of its publication, until a fire at their (the printers') premises in 1892, their business address being Dorset Works, Salisbury Square, London EC. In 1888 the firm printed about "Earlswood Idiot Asylum".
The Fawcett's son, also called Woodford (July 1871–2 January 1954) was born in Hackney, lived in Kingston in 1911 and Surbiton in 1939. He was a publisher (Woodford Fawcett & Co) and died in Surrey.
Elsewhere we have seen Amelia's dates as b. 1844 and d. 1898. We have found no connection with Henry Fawcett, which doesn't mean there isn't one.
