Dear Larkspur, THANK YOU SO MUCH.
Yes, this helps!
I already know the names of the living children, I think I even met one briefly in 1986. What I didn't know thought was the Wladimiro died on March 26th and was buried on March 29th. The same very day his favourite sister (my grandmother) died here in Italy. This is a bit shocking to me.
The info about Isobel were very helpful. I supposed she had no descendants. I would have loved to see a picture of her as my grandmother (her sister in law) always told me she was very beautiful. Stunning in fact.
Also the fact that she worked as an auxiliary nurse could explain how she and Wladimiro had met: He served in the army and I always heard that he had been imprisoned in England during the war times. (although, there was no war really in the 30s, so I still have to understand what that was about). An other fact I need to go into details about is the location "Annesley House, Villa Road". I suppose it was a place they used to host wedding parties and now it doesn't exist anymore. Or perhaps it was where the Houldgates lived and where also Wladimiro and isobel went to live. All very foggy. Need some research to make and it's just not easy. But thank you so much again for your help, it was key to me! And anything else that may come to your head about this, please let me know. For ever in your debt. Alessandra Rebaudi
