Notes - The South of England Advertiser of (Thurs) 10 Jan 1924, says she married Frank Milner BLACK (the "Mayor's son) the previous Saturday (ie 5/1/1924). The relevant GRO ref is Jan qtr 1924, Brighton, vol 2b, p411.
There are a number of newspaper reports that make it clear that Kathleen was a very accomplished singer.
The DOB is based on the day and month given in the 1939 Register, but the year identified by the BMD index, and the Censusses. It is unclear why her husband lied about the year, it seems too far out to be a mistake.....
