Biography

In the 1891 census she is an inmate of Lambeth New School, West Norwood, and in 1901 housemaid to Maurice E. Yonge at Elderfield; it seems likely that she is Rosie or Rosina, the kitchen maid whom CMY was tutoring in 1900, see Coleridge, Life, 344. She appears to have married John Oscar Lyon in 1908.
