Notes Eliza Jane Atkins was born in 1855. She lived with her Grandfather Thomas Atkins, parents William and Susannah (nee Histed) Atkins and eight siblings in a cottage in Tupwood, Caterham, Surrey. The area was unspoilt countryside and life was simple. The cottage had three large rooms in it. The boys of the family shared one room with their Grandfather. The girls shared another whilst Mum and Dad, (William and Susannah), slept in the third, a large living room with an alcove where their bed was placed. There were very large fireplaces where they could almost sit and windows, though small, looked out onto the beautiful countryside. Eliza, along with her siblings would have to walk four miles every day to school and on Sundays the whole family would walk two miles to church where they sung in the choir. Their Grandfather was a lime burner and would bake loaves of bread and cook large pots of potatoes in the kiln to feed the large family.
