Born: 14th August, 1862. Died: 23rd March, 1943.

The other lady, D Killick, is proving to be a little elusive. I'll add more information if I can work out exactly who she was. At the moment I'm looking at Dorothy Lilian Killick, who was born in Southborough in 1909.

Yes, I'm pretty sure Miss D Killick from Southborough was indeed Dorothy Lilian Killick (later Dorothy Lilian Dennis) - she lived to be 95:
