Maria Vero, Layton Cemetery, Blackpool #8

'In

Loving Memory

of

MARIA,

WIFE OF DAVID R. VERO,

PASSED AWAY 20^TH FEB. 1913,

AGED 76.

SHE WAS A MEMBER OF THE NATIONAL SOCIETY

FOR WOMEN'S SUFFRAGE. (MANCHESTER BRANCH)

AND LEFT THIS WORLD AN ANCIENT TEMPLAR,

AND BRITISH WOMAN.'

Again, I can find no information on this person other than that on the gravestone, although the concern with women's suffrage is interesting. David R. Vero and Maria were no doubt also very involved with the temperance movement, but there is nothing else to discover. And what does 'British woman' mean exactly?

Many thanks to The Friends of Layton Cemetery for their amazingly enthusiastic help with all our grave enquiries.
