From her marriage document and mention in the 1851 census of England, one could learn that Mary (Spaven) Angel (my 2X great grandmother) was a dressmaker!
The picture from todays blog is of John and Mary (Spaven) Angel and the intricate dress Mary is sporting surely confirms her identity as a ‘dressmaker’. One should consider that she’d make and keep her very best effort at making dresses? I’m surely no tailor but just look carefully at all of the details in the dress! In such a creation, Mary showed her skill, creativity and attention to details at such a creation. Furthermore, the dress really proves her identity in the picture.
