20/10/1862 Catherine Wilson 40 London & Middlesex Newgate Mrs Soames
Catherine was born in 1842. Her modus operandi was to find a sick person of means and then get them to make out a will in her favour. She would then feed them various poisons. For a while she lived with a man named Dixon but he took to the bottle so she poisoned him, as well.
