Georgina Persis Duthy

Georgiana Persis Rooper was born on 26 July 1846 at Marylebone, London, England the daughter of George Rooper and Mary Frances Williams-Freeman.

Rooper lived at Wick Hill, Hove in some state. Three portraits by Sir Joshua Reynolds adorned his walls including one of Dr Samuel Johnson (1709-1784). The 1861 census recorded him living at Wick Hill, by that time aged 79, with his wife Persis, 77, son John, a retired Army captain aged 51, daughter-in-law Charlotte aged 42, grand-daughters Alice aged 16 and Lucy aged 10, and grandson Herbert aged 8; there were also nine servants. When Rooper died he left an estate worth £40,000, a considerable sum. It is interesting to note that a Mrs Duthy of The Drive, Hove, celebrated her 100thbirthday in 1946. She was born Georgina Persis Rooper and had been one of the grandchildren living at Wick Hill.
