Thanks Mary. I wonder what her adult life was like?
Her father was the youngest of his family
Her cousin Charles was feeble minded so when the aunts died she must have felt very isolated.
She called her house Woodside clearly in memory of her childhood.

Not sure how to get my head round this, but in 1921 Charles is in a municipal lodging house with dozens of other men, working as a painter's labourer.

I have been trying to find out what happened to Lizzie, but not found anything yet.

Thank you Kite. It seems very odd that there are just two children nine years apart. I do wonder if Richard didn't acknowledge his wife until after his father died and if Lizzie then fled the marriage.
This is the problem researching people of whom I know nothing.

I have been trying to find out about the Eve family, to see whether she sought refuge with a sibling. Unfortunately, all the Ancestry trees seem to have conflated George Eve and Mary Ann nee Woods with George William Eve and Mary Ann nee Clements.
