Well, I was told that when she went up to London to train at the Savoy Hotel in 1930 that this was the first time that she had worked. The date indicated to me that perhaps Elizabeth's income had fallen due to the stock market crash and she could no longer pay for Ellen & the children. It was assumed that she would never be in that position. Elizabeth must have continued some support as they lived better than her salary would have indicated. As Ellen was married from Scarborough, she may have gone back there, where Elizabeth was living (I think!) Have not seen the will myself, but I do know that Ellen was intended to be the sole benificiary, at least that it is what I was told. regards, john.
