Notes for Harriet Thomson
On her death certificate she was 79, widow of Robert Dampier Hallifax, Brigadier and Colonel of HM 78th regt. The informant was B A Summers, present at the death and also of Ellerslie, Chilston Road, Tunbridge Wells.

TFPL, Sep 2004: I am unable to find her in the 1881 census, nor any of her famly apart from Katherine Maria in Liverpool. I wonder if they were abroad then?

At her burial, the celebrant was S George Bird, the entry no was 5805 and the grave no was 78 in Class B, section 7.
