15 Sep 1856: “Called to see Bessie Carass & Aunt Bell & then went home”
30 Oct 1857: “At Night sat with Bessie Carass”
no references in 1858 or 1859
while in London, JRS wrote to Bessie (9.2.60)
Censuses:
1851: Boroughbridge
Henry Carass, 32, butcher, b BB
Elizabeth Carass, 34, wife, b Topcliffe
Letters from Ellis Macfarlane to John Stubbs on her first visit to Boroughbridge after their engagement: “I am to see old Bessie tomorrow” she wrote on her first night, and the next day, “Last Night I went to the kitchen to try to get old Bessie tell me something bad about you, but of course failed altogether. This morning I watched her prepare a turkey for cooking. So you see I am beginning already!!”
Bessie offered to come and look after Ellis when the babies were due, made cushions for Ellis and went for holidays to stay with John and Ellis in Coatham.
Bessie also worked for other families. She was left £10 by Mrs Wood in 1872, and a letter of Mary’s in May 1874 shows how busy Bessie and Henry were: “Bessy is very busy. She has loads of washing. We have had Henry one day this week and again tomorrow whitewashing. The Sedgwicks have the Mackaskeys at dinner tomorrow and Bessy is making jelly &c for them”.
Aunt Bell remembered Bessie in her Will “as a small acknowledgment of all her kindness”, and in a letter of 1886 Mary told John she wished on her death that the maids should each have full mourning and that Bessie Carass was to have “a gown and bonnet and cap” in the traditional way.
