• Notes

  The school records have her starting 1/2/1906, when she was living at 12, Pullar Road, and leaving 20/9/11 when she "left district". Some other children left to other towns, eg Maidstone, so this might be leaving the country... She might have married Gem RANDALL Q2 1945 in Hemel Hempstead, though there are various other possibilities. She seems to have signed the marriage register for Emma Rose Webb (in 1928). Also suggests that the Merrington sisters kept in touch? I can find no obvious record of death after 1939 as ALLEN or RANDALL, though again there are many possibilities.
