• Notes

  School data has her starting at St Paul's infants, Southwark, then St Pauls, then leaving 22/12/1905 to go to Boarding School. At the 1921 Census, where she is "head" is a family of HICKMAN. This appears to be Albert (born 16/8/1892) and Amy C (nee CHURCH) (born 8/11/1896). At the moment there is no obvious connection to the Desboroughs. death based on BMD index - Islington Oct qtr 1967, aged 73, vol 5c, p694 She is in the London Electoral registers in 1945 and 1964 at 50, Grosvenor Terrace, Southwark, living with other people (probably not relatives).
