Notes

Ethel was brought up by a "spinster aunt" in Maidstone Kent according to Betty Sullivan who once, as a young girl aged 7 or 8, visited this maiden aunt with her mother. Betty describes the aunt as quite old and very victorian, Betty travelled to see her with her mother by train and was dressed very smartly with white gloves and hat which she was not allowed to get dirty. The maiden aunt did not seem to be married as no man was present. She was middle class and Betty had to be onher best behaviour, only speaking when spoken to.
Ethel may have been orphaned at the age of about 8 (about 1897).
She was the youngest of 3 sisters.
Betty thinks that she only had one brother.
Betty has a photograph of them.
