Jane Austen...hair locks?

Question

Her sister Cassandra took some locks of Janes hair when she died. She sent them to some friends and family. Do you know where they ended up?

Answer 1

JANE AUSTEN (1775−1817) bequeathed a lock of her hair to her niece Fanny Knight. In 1949 this lock, mounted between two glass disks in a gilt frame, came into the possession of the Jane Austen Society and since then has been exhibited in the museum at Chawton in Hampshire.
