Patrick, along with their Aunt Branwell, tutored his remaining children at home, all of which thrived in the environment. The four youngest Brontë children, all under ten years of age, had suffered the loss of the three eldest females in their immediate family, and this was hard on them all. Charlotte Brontë used the school as the basis for Lowood School in Jane Eyre.Īfter the deaths of his older daughters, Patrick removed Charlotte and Emily from the school. The school was unsanitary and in poor condition, which most likely hastened the deaths of both Maria and Elizabeth, who died of tuberculosis in June 1825. In August 1824, Anne’s father sent Emily, Charlotte, Maria, and Elizabeth to the Clergy Daughters’ School at Cowan Bridge in Lancashire for a brief period. Elizabeth Branwell stayed with the family until her death in 1842, because Patrick’s attempts to remarry after his wife’s death were unsuccessful. Patrick was appointed perpetual curate of St Michael and All Angels Church in the village of Haworth in 1820.Īnne and her five siblings, four elder sisters Maria, Charlotte, Elizabeth, Emily and brother Branwell, were left to the care of her sister, Elizabeth Branwell, when their mother died of cancer on 15 September 1821. She was the last of the six children of Maria Branwell and Patrick Brontë, who was an Irish Anglican clergyman.
