Georgiana was born on 9th March 1853 to William and Sarah Blackett (nee Alcock/ Ancock,) and baptised on 17th April 1853 at St. Marys and All Saints Church, Sculthorpe, Norfolk. William was a wheelwright and the blacksmith for the village of Sculthorpe.
Sculthorpe (or 'Skuli's Hamlet' in Old English) was a village with a long history being well established by the time of the Domesday book.
In 1861 schoolchild Georgiana lived at 79 Creake Road, not far from the Sculthorpe water mill, at 'The Wheelwrights and Blacksmith House' where her father employed 4 men and 4 boys.
Ten years later Georgiana was working as a domestic [servant] alongside two other girls at 16 Banks Street, Plea, Norwich. This was the home of Arthur Preston, a local solicitor and his two daughters. The building dated from the 16th century and had been heightened to three storeys and extended in the 19th century.
By 1876 Georgiana had moved to Tindall Street, Camberwell, London. It was while living here that she met Robert Burton and they married in Brixton on 25th June 1876. Their son Burton William being born in Walworth in April 1877 and dying tragically at the age of 21 in Hampshire in 1899.
Georgiana and Robert lived at various addresses in London (particularly in the Stoke Newington/ Walworth area) up to at least 1911.
By March 1939 she was registered as an invalid and living at 10 Sheephouse Road, Farnham, Surrey. Farnham had been extant since Roman times, gaining its town status due to the medieval castle built to protect its wool production and wheat trade.
Farnham was becoming a commuter town by the time of Georgiana's death at 23 Hale Road on 3rd January 1946. Alfred Bluedon, a Trade Unionist who had previously handled husband Roberts' Will also handled her Estate which totalled £232 11s 3d.
