Biography
She was governess to the children of Philip Wynter, president of St Johns College Oxford in 1861. She was evidently daughter of the Rev. Richard Garnett (1789-1850), assistant keeper of printed books at the British Museum, and sister of Richard Garnett (1835-1906), keeper of printed books at the British Museum, for she was staying with the latter in the 1871 census and still a governess.
