I'm doing my family tree and see plenty of links to the Sitch's at Kelvedon Hatch but I'm having trouble linking the names with the info I have. I'm guessing that my link is through the James Sitch (b. 1832) / Catherine Curtis (b. 1810) marriage? Any info / links would be greatly appreciated!

Researching a realtive who died at Kelvedon Hall Sept 1936. Any info about the convent/school there at the time, where the nuns went after this period. Anyone who recalls anything about this tragedy. I already have newspaper & Coroner's reports and the very useful local booklet. Especially keen to find out where our relative, Catherine Gallivan, was buried.
