Daisy, died of TB in 1922, their daughter, Margaret born 1920, went to live with Daisy's family - Margaret's uncle and aunt, Walter and Ethel Seymour, at 68 St Edwards Road, Gosport, where they lived until their deaths in the 1960s. Margaret married Leslie William Godden in 1940. Henry King 'disappeared' - see: The Mysterious Mr. King

from Ian: Violet Ethel married Ernest Warner, who my family including me all knew well. Indeed my mother [Margaret] was very close to her daughter Mavis [they were 1st cousins] and we kids used to love going to see Uncle Ernie where he worked as engineer on the Gosport ferries. My abiding image of him was with blackened face from all the coal dust. We all liked him a lot. We all also remember Aunt Lil (Lily Seymour).
