English: An erased and sensationalised life, 1901
In 1901 the Tamworth Herald published an article concerning a case of fraud heard at Marylebone Magistrates Court against an individual identified as 60-year old Catherine Coome. Coome had been married several times to a number of women and had worked as a cook on a P&O liner for several years ‘without [their] true sex being discovered’. Throughout the report Coome is only referred to by a female identity. The male identity that they lived for 40 years is completely erased by the article.
