Hi, thank you so much for that information.  I had "googled" Stella's name a while ago and had found she was in a retirement home in Peterborough.  I wrote to the home, but had been ignored. 

It is good to know she was was well thought of by her pupils.  I wish I had tried to find her a few years ago...

Do you know by any chance if she had a brother?  I seem to recollect she did, but I can find no birth records.

Cheers,

Ralph

Asked mum, she doesn,t think so.  She retired in 1985, kept that info. For possible obituary suggest get in touch with Thorney Post or Margaret Fletcher of Thorney Society believe she knew her well.

She taught me and as any of her pupils will tell you had a habit of pulling your ear!!!!

I can also remember her house it was a Duke of Bedford cottage on Wisbech Road.
