Chronology of Charlotte Bronte's Life Jennifer McDermott Charlotte Bronte was born on April 21, 1816, in Thornton, Bradford, Yorkshire. She was the third child of Patrick and Maria Bronte (preceded by sisters Maria and Elizabeth). In 1817, her only brother Patrick Branwell was born, followed by Emily Jane in 1818 and Anne in 1820. Later that year Mr. Bronte accepted a job as perpetual curate of Hayworth, Yorkshire (Gaskell xxxv). In 1821, Mrs. Bronte died; her sister Aunt Branwell had helped nurse her while she was sick and stayed to help care for the children. In 1824, Charlotte began attending the Cowan Bridge school for daughters of clergymen. Cowan Bridge was later to be represented as "Lowood" by Charlotte in Jane Eyre. On May 6, 1825, Maria Bronte died of tuberculosis at the age of twelve. On June 15, slightly more than a month later, Elizabeth Bronte died, also of tuberculosis (Gaskell xxxv). For the five years that followed, Charlotte, Branwell, Emily, and Anne remained at home under the care of their Aunt. In 1831, Charlotte began attending school at Roe Head, taught by Miss Wooler. She was very successful here, won a silver medal for ladylike manners, and met Ellen Nussey and Mary Taylor, who became her lifelong friends (Gordon 343). In 1832, Charlotte left school and spent the next three years teaching her sisters at home. She returned to Roe Head in 1835 as a teacher, but was miserable. She recorded her private outbursts in her "Roe Head Journal" (Gordon 343). The school moved to Dewsbury Moor in 1837, but Charlotte left a year later (Gaskell xxxv).

The major event of her young life was the death of her mother in 1821. In 1824, Charlotte and her two older sisters, Maria and Elizabeth, were sent to the newly-opened Cowan Bridge Clergy Daughters' School. Conditions there were bad even by the standards of the time, and it was not long before both Maria and Elizabeth became ill enough to be sent home, where they both died of consumption in the spring of 1825. Patrick brought Charlotte and her younger sister Emily, who had recently joined them at the school, back home as soon as the other girls became ill, but Charlotte in particular never forgot what the school had been like. The surviving kids all became each others' best friends. They created the kingdom of Gondal and wrote all kinds of epic stories and poems set in that realm. Charlotte and Branwell were in charge of Angria proper, while Emily and Anne (the youngest) ran the neighboring kingdom of Gondal. Charlotte's next adventure was going to school in Brussels with Emily in 1842. Charlotte's time there was brief, less than two years, but it led to her eventual writing of

Search Novelguide: Biography Emily Brontë was born on July 30, 1818 in Thornton, England on the Yorkshire moor, the fifth of Patrick and Maria Branwell Brontë’s six children. In 1920 the family moved to Haworth.  In 1821 Maria Branwell died, leaving Maria, Elizabeth, Charlotte, Emily, Anne, and Branwell motherless.  Emily, Charlotte, Maria and Elizabeth were sent to Cowan Bridge Clergy Daughter’s School, where the bad conditions caused Maria and Elizabeth to be sent home with the tuberculosis that killed them in 1825. In 1837 Emily spent some time teaching in Halifax, and in 1842 she and Charlotte went to Brussels for more school, with Emily soon returning home. Emily spent much of her life at home in Haworth and had few friends.  Because of her rather withdrawn and reclusive life, not much is known about her.  She did enjoy walking on the moors, and she took care of an older servant and her brother Branwell who died in 1848 because of his excessive drinking. Emily, Anne and Charlotte began writing mythology when they were children, stemming from the stories they made up about imaginary worlds such as Gondal and Angria.  In 1846 the three sisters financed and published a book of Poems under the pseudonyms Ellis, Acton and Currer Bell.  Although only two copies sold, the good reviews encouraged them to continue their writing, and soon plays, serial stories and other writings emerged.

David Cody , Assistant Professor of English, Hartwick College In 1831 Charlotte became a pupil at the school at Roe Head, but she left school the following year to teach her sisters at home. She returned returns to Roe Head School in 1835 as a governess: for a time her sister Emily attended the same school as a pupil, but became homesick and returned to Haworth. Ann took her place from 1836 to 1837. In 1838, Charlotte left Roe Head School. In 1839 she accepted a position as governess in the Sidgewick family, but left after three months and returned to Haworth. In 1841 she became governess in the White family, but left, once again, after nine months. Upon her return to Haworth the three sisters, led by Charlotte, decided to open their own school after the necessary preparations had been completed. In 1842 Charlotte and Emily went to Brussels to complete their studies. After a trip home to Haworth, Charlotte returned alone to Brussels, where she remained until 1844. Upon her return home the sisters embarked upon their project for founding a school, which proved to be an abject failure: their advertisements did not elicit a single response from the public. The following year Charlotte discovered Emily's poems, and decided to publish a selection of the poems of all three sisters: 1846 brought the publication of their Poems, written under the pseudonyms of Currer, Ellis and Acton Bell.

In "Anne, dear gentle Anne was quite different in appearance from the others, and she was her aunt's favourite. Her hair was a very pretty light brown, and fell on her neck in graceful curls. She had lovely violet-blue eyes, fine pencilled eyebrows and a clear almost transparent complexion. She still pursued her studies and especially her sewing, under the surveillance of her aunt. " (Chitham, 1991, p. 39) One of Anne's activities during the holidays was playing at the Gondals with Emily. The first of Anne's known poems, "Verses by Lady Geralda", dates from Christmas 1836. The next, "Alexander and Zenobia", is dated July 1st, 1837. Both are set firmly in the world of Gondal. They deal with clearly fictional characters, and bear their signatures. Though there is disagreement over the categorization of Anne's poetry into Gondal and non-Gondal poetry, most of the poems which are 'signed' by Gondal characters seem to have been written during or immediately after periods of proximity to Emily. Anne and Charlotte do not appear to have been close during their time at Roe Head (Charlotte's letters almost never mention Anne) but Charlotte was concerned about the health of her sister. At some point prior to December 1837, Anne became seriously ill and underwent a religious crisis. (Mrs. Gaskell incorrectly gives the time of Anne's illness as a year later, in

The three sisters are almost as famous for their short, tragic lives as for their novels. In their works they described love more truthfully that was common in Victorian age England. In the past 40 years Charlotte Brontë's reputation has risen rapidly, and feminist criticism has done much to show that she was speaking up for oppressed women of every age. Charlotte attended Clergy Daughter's School in Lancashire in 1824. She returned home next year because of the harsh conditions. In 1831 she went to school at Roe Head, where she later worked as a teacher. However, she fell ill, suffered from melancholia, and gave up this post. Charlotte's attempts to earn her living as a governess were hindered by her disabling shyness, her ignorance of normal children, and her yearning to be with her sisters. In 1842 Charlotte travelled to Brussels with Emily to learn French, German, and management. Her attempt to open a school failed in 1844. The collection of poems, POEMS BY CURRER, ELLIS AND ACTON BELL (1846), which she wrote with her sisters, sold only two copies. By this time the sisters had finished a novel; Charlotte's first, THE PROFESSOR, never found a publisher in her lifetime, but Emily's Wuthering Heights and Anne's Agnes Grey were accepted by Thomas Newby in 1847 and published next year.

J.R.Branwell c.1890 THE BRANWELLS The Branwells of Penzance were builders, grocers and general merchants, but it was in 1807 that they acquired the Vellanhogan Mills at Gulval. Thereafter the flour business of R M Branwell and Sons, of which by 1880 J R Branwell was head, provided the main base for their prosperity. In 1883 the firm were listed as "wholesale and retail grocers, steam millers, and corn and flour factors". The mill at Vellanhogan was no longer the small water mill leased by Robert Branwell in 1807, but an imposing 6 storey building operated by steam power. The mill comprised of 15 pairs of millstones operated by 3 steam engines totalling 210 horsepower, plus a water mill of 50 horsepower. It had a capacity of 2000 sacks of flour per week, employed 26 men and had its own smithy, wheelwright and stabling for 24 horses. As well as the mill in Gulval the firm, in 1883, had 3 other sites in Penzance: a retail shop in the market place, a granary situated at Larrigan, and a flour stall in North Parade. By the late 1880s J R Branwell's plan for a large new granary with offices fronting Market Jew Street had come to fruition. This building today is an entertainments complex known as Branwell's Mill, although no milling ever took place in this building. J R Branwell married Elizabeth Tyack and they had two sons, John and Alfred, and three daughters, Laura (who married Henry Thomas, solicitor); Marion (who married John Mudge of the Indian Civil Service); and Edith (who remained unmarried).

The Bronte Sisters; Anne (1820-1849) Charlotte (1816-1855) Emily (1818-1848) Anne Bronte Charlotte Bronte Emily Bronte For the next few years, the Bronte children were taught at home. They invented games and told imaginary stories to each other. Charlotte attended Miss Wooler's school at Roe Head for one year in 1831, then returned home and taught her sisters. Charlotte returned to Roe Head as a teacher in 1835, but after suffering from depression and ill health, she resigned from her position. It was at Roe Head that Charlotte met her lifelong friend Ellen Nussey. Her many letters to Nussey have served as the best documentation of her life. The Bronte sisters worked in various schools during the next few years. Anne worked briefly as a governess in 1839 and from 1841-1845. Emily spent several months teaching at Miss Patchett's school at Law Hill. Charlotte and Emily had plans to open their own school at Haworth, and in 1842, they travelled to Brussels at their aunt's expense to learn German and improve their French. When their aunt died 8 months later, the sisters returned for the funeral. Emily never returned to Brussels, but Charlotte returned as a pupil-teacher. Her time in Belgium was not happy, in part because of her attraction to her married employer. Charlotte returned to Haworth the next year. The dream of opening a school was never realised. In the autumn of 1845, Charlotte discovered some poems written by Emily. Charlotte, Emily, and Anne soon realised they had all been secretly writing verse. The next year, they published a book of poems at their own expense entitled Poems by Currer, Ellis, and Acton Bell. The pseudonyms were chosen to match the first letter of their names. They only sold two copies of the book, but each sister already had additional writing plans in the works.

document.write(""); BRONTE BRONTE, CHARLOTTE (1816-1855), EMILY (1818-1848), and ANNE (1820^-1849), English novelists, were three of the six children of Patrick Bronte, a clergyman Of the Church of England, who for the last forty-one years of his'life was perpetual incumbent of the parish of Ha worth in the West Riding of Yorkshire. Patrick Bronte was born at Emsdale, Co. Down, Ireland; on the iyth of March 1777. His parents werc'!of the peasant class, their original name of Brunty apparently having been changed by their son on his entry at St John's College, Cambridge, in 1802. In the intervening years he had been successively a> weaver and schoolmaster in his native Country. From Cambridge he became a curate, first at Wethersfield in Essex, in 18o6, then for a few months at Wellington, Salop, in 1809. At the end of 1809 he accepted a curacy at Dewsbury, Yorkshire, following up this by one at Hartshead-cum-Clifton in the same county. At Hartshead Patrick Brontë married fri 1812 Maria Branwell, a Cornishwoman, and there two children were born to him, Maria (1813—1825) and Elizabeth (1814—1825). Thence Patrick Brontë removed to Thornton, some 3 m. from Bradford, and ~here his wife gave birth to four children, Charlotte, Patrick Branwell (1817—1848), Emily Jane, and Anne, three of whom were to attain literary distinction. In April 1820, three months after the birth of Anne Brontë, her father accepted the living of Haworth, a village near Keighley in Yorkshire, which will always be associated with the romantic story of the Brontës. In September of the following year his wife died.
