Gertrude Wynne Shaw, formerly Dallas, born Cole died 10 June 1954 (English Will), Morden, Surrey, England. Age 93, Free BMD..(cando) That equates to a 1861 birth. I am suggesting that she WAS born 1861 and that HER mother was Matilda Freedland Hogben who probably died post partum 28 August 1861, Port Elizabeth. Although I would like a baptism of Gertrude Wynne Cole but it may be in the grief of the death of Matilda this was overlooked. It seems probable that the widower George Montague Cole re married to Decima Ashburnham (maddy 52) and the youngest daughter of George Montague Cole, Blanche Ashburnham Cole was the daughter of GMC and Decima Ashburnham. Likewise the last child of Gertrude Wynne Dallas (formerly Cole) was the daughter of Seymour Dallas and his wife Gertrude Wynne Dallas was Blanche Seymour Dallas. Not Shaw as as published on the Internet. No one in their right mind calls their child after the first husband in this case Seymour Dallas.
