• Notes

  Familly story Aunt bea returned to live in the family home - unsure if it was before or after the death of her mother Sophia. the family home was across the road from Ruby Eileen Jackson (wagner). All children were born at home and often births were not registered for some time. Births may have been registered in Aylesford or Morden. Stories of Aunt Bea say she was married 3 times and was shot several times. She was a bartender or owner at some point which may account for the shootings.
