Biography
SourceROSIE (Clara Rose MIDDLETON) AND HARRY WATKINS were married at an old church at Crockham Hall, Kent. The "reception" was held at "Uplands Farm", Froghole near Edenbridge at the home of George Smith (Amy Ann"s cousin). Aunt Nell writes "I was chief bridesmaid with Annie Smith and four other children all in white silk. My dress was of a primrose colour".
Arnold Middleton recalls his sisters in his poem "A Prodigal"s Return." The poetry book containing the poem has a loving inscription to his sister Rose, on the frontispiece.
- We told them of big fortunes made,
- And how we thought of them
- Dressed up in silk and satin soft,
- Lit up with flashing gem!
