Notes - Probate of £1700 to Hannah Marie Winefred READ (who was his sister).
Also at the same house in 1939 is Ethel M MAY (b 30/6/1878), single. The 1901 Census identifies her as an aunt(though much younger than his mother).
The electoral registers for 1921 and 1931 (greatest extent of years I can find) have him and Frances Elizabeth (ie his mother) at Reeves House, so it is possible that Ethel came when Fanny died in 1938.
His obituary noted that he "was highly respected. He was a keen sportsman and had been Secretary of Bow Football and Cricket Clubs."
