Thanks to Wendy Stewart for sharing this important piece of work. She describes it as follows: "The sampler is all embroidered in maroon stitching with a patterned border. It is a ‘Mourning’ or ‘Memorial’ sampler, I think, as the child who died is all sewn in black thread."
NOTE: Having the precise date of birth for George Surtees (the father of this large family) has allowed us to locate the correct names of his parents. As a result, we have been obliged to discard the previous family tree, which erroneously placed his family roots in Acomb, Northumberland. So far, all we can say with assurance is that George's father was called Thomas.
