Individual Note:
     Birth 2nd Q 1855 Walsall 6b 539d no nonsense from the children. Frederick was unhappy in the leather trade and Sarahs pressure on him proba>d by her parents, Joseph and Mary.. By her age and birthdate this is more likely to be in 1936.
Family (all bar Dorothy) called themselves "Hildick-Smith". Was a very fierce lady, who stood no nonsense from her children and grandchildren. This may account for her split with Frederick. She had to>
    bring up the children on her own and was well supported by her father.
The family seemed to spend time at Gospel Oak-see Hildick records.
According to Monas letter she seems to have died in 1936 or 1944 although this has not been verified.
