Great x3 Aunt - Manning

My Great x3 Aunt (1880 - 1880) was a younger sister of my Great Great Grandmother Grandmother Mary Ann 'Polly' Boobier (nee Manning) (1869 - 1916).

She was born on 6th September 1880 in Exeter, Devon to William Manning (about 51), a general labourer, and Mary Ann Manning (nee Ireland) (about 40), a laundress.

This baby girl was born at six months old and sadly passed away on the day of her birth at nine hours old.

Her little life was spent at the family home of 27 Jubilee Street, St Leonard's, Exeter.

She was not named.

She was the eighth of nine children (five daughters and four sons):

• Emma  1865 - 1866 (11 months old)
• William  1868 - 1920 (51 years old)
• Mary Ann 'Polly' 1869 - 1919 (48 years old)
• Kate  1871 - 1916 (46 years old)
• Rose  1875 - 1877 (2 years old)
• Samuel  1877 - 1877 (11 weeks old)
• James  1878 - 1887 (8 years old)
• Unnamed Daughter  1880 - 1880 (0 years old)
• Frederick John  1882 - 1882 (6 weeks old)

Fifteen years before she was born, her oldest sister Emma had passed away, aged eleven months old, in 1866.

Three years before she was born, in August 1877, her older siblings two-year-old Rose and eleven-week-old Samuel both passed away. Did they both succumb to the same illness?

This baby girl passed away in 1880.

Her younger brother, six-week-old Frederick, passed away in 1882.

And her older brother, eight-year-old James, passed away in 1887.
