Susan Yarrow
1821-1886
Susan Yarrow was the youngest of the eleven known children of William Yarrow and his wife Elizabeth Wright of Little Thetford, Cambridgeshire.
She is noted on several censuses as having been "afflicted" or "handicapped - has suffered fits since birth". This may have been epilepsy or even asthma. Whatever her condition, she appears to have been receiving relief payments throughout her life. If true, these would have most likely have come from the parish.
She appears to have lived mainly with her older brother John and his second wife who lived in Little Thetford and were the publican's of "The Wheat Sheaf" (now long since disappeared). In later years, she lived with John's son (her nephew) James Yarrow (1846-1930) and his family until her death.
Susan never married, but is incorrectly noted as "widow" on the 1881 Little Thetford census.
