Gertrude Parsons (19 March 1812 – 12 February 1891) was a Roman Catholic convert who wrote numerous works in the nineteenth century. Born in Restormel, Cornwall, and growing up with eight brothers and sisters, she converted to Catholicism in 1844. She married Daniel Parsons in 1845, himself a recent convert to Catholicism, and the couple moved to Malvern Wells. There she wrote several novels, generally with underlying Catholic themes. She also started a Catholic periodical in 1865, which lasted just one year. (From Wikipedia)
