| Description | Margaret Ferry, a 54 year old widow, requests to be admitted to the Hospital. She was born on 23 August 1786. Her mother was Margaret Bohanah and her father, Charles Martin, died in the French Hospital about 24 years prior to the petition being made. He was originally from Sainte-Honorine-La-Chardonne, in Normandy but came to England as a refugee. Margaret is a weaver but can no longer continue to work as she suffers from rheumatic gout in her hands and feet. A note at the end states that her late husband's cousin, Peter Ferry Michel, was one of the Hospital's Directors. The petition is signed by Margaret Ferry and John Peter Ferry.
Petition n. 1222. |
