Very interesting indeed. I hadn’t been aware of Sybil who obviously didn’t pursue a career in the family business and forged a career as a teacher overseas. Unlike the rest of her family there isn’t a baptism record as far as I can see and no trace so far on the 1901 census. Perhaps she was with another household or away at private school. Thanks again for your assistance which is most appreciated. I visited the ‘High View’ address today which still stands and is a grand building… Jayhen

I see that Felix left £1,000 to St Georges Hospital, London when he died.   

Thanks for that, I haven’t seen his will. He was a member of a large wealthy family engaged in the Cotton Spinning industry in Bolton during the 19th Century.. Regards Jayhen

She might have been in Bournemouth “for the good of her health”.  Sea Air .
The death certificate will give the cause of death.

Yes, very true. I’ve noted that on the 1901 Census there was a ‘Lady’s nurse’ living with the family..

Many thanks
Jayhen

Her death certificate will show if an Inquest was held; it will also give the name of the Coroner.

Thanks for that, i was Initially wondering  if there was any publication in the press.
