Ada Maria died at about 10 years of age in a kitchen fire. Having died at such a young age may be the reason she is not found in the LDS listings. Her siblings were listed most of which being christened on the same day 2 November 1851. In those days in England, minors had a hard time making a living, especially with a large family to feed and clothe. Often the boys were let out for their keep, working on farms or learning a trade. These boys had no chance to go to school, so grew up unable to read or write. They signed their name with an "X". The Libby boys were let out to a farmer, in St Ewe Parish, Cornwall. They were not allowed to eat with the family with which they were placed, not even served the same food. They were served so sparingly that they were often hungry. William in later years told my grandfather about his life on the farm. He said that the man who cooked there was sympathetic to the boys and often cooked extras for them on the sly. One morning the boys had sneaked some eggs from the nest. The cook was cooking them for the boys when the master of the farm was heard approaching. Rather than get caught in the act, he turned the whole lot into the fire. That morning the boys didn't get any extras.

There was an open hearth in the homes there to cook with rather than stoves. One morning Addie Maria, the boys' ten year old sister was putting the kettle on the hearth while preparing breakfast. Her apron caught fire. There was no one else around. She run outside. The fire enveloped her clothing that she died from the fire. ("The Libby Family" by Doris Nightingale Boynton)
