Rosanna Black
Rosanna
was born in Inkpen on 19 Jan 1848. In 1867 she
married Edwin Spackman in Burbage, Wiltshire and was
converted to Mormonism.
"When she left the UK with
her husband and his family, Jane White (her
mother) spat on her and disowned her. Decades
later, one of her sons went back to the Uk and
made amends. However, Rosanna and her mother
never saw each other again.
From what we know of Hawker
families, to leave and join another religion like
that was like spitting on them, as far as they
were concerned..."
