Awarded the 1915 Star for service in France. Birth certificate says 17 The Crescent, Baldock Road, Letchworth but Thelma maintains she always lived at 1 The Crescent. Speculation involves a move from number 17 to number 1, a renumbering or possibly the midwife lived at number 17, but there is no evidence. Swiss Cottage was a large and pleasant flat above the Lewis Falk factory- also known as Garden City Embroidery Works. This was Robert Bonfield's flat, which came with the job of Works Manager.

I had thought she was Lucy May but called May. On her daughter Thelma's boirth certificate she was the 'Informant, and it is clearly May Lucy (M L) so I have adopted this. 1901 census shows birthplace as Baldock.ion in Religious Knowledge at Baldock Girls School in 1906,1907 and 1909 1901 census shows Lucy living aged 5 with her parents at the Wilderness in Baldock. She was born in Baldock. Thelma's birth certificate says 17 The Crescent, Baldock Road, Letchworth but Thelma maintains she always lived at 1 The Crescent. Speculation involves a move from number 17 to number 1, a renumbering or possibly the midwife lived at number 17, but there is no evidence.
