I'm not related to this lady but came across the following brief article in the Cheltenham Chronicle dated 23 Jan 1915

SEWING SHIRTS AT 96

Mrs Davies, Westbury on Severn, 96 years of age is devoting her time to making shirts for soldiers. She scorns the use of glasses, and retains her full faculties. Her daughter is 72 and both are pensioners.

A quick search makes me think that this is her and her daughter on the 1911 census, then going back it starts to get more involved, if anyone else fancies having a look to sort out the family background please do.

Census reference RG14PN15211 RG78PN920 RD323 SD1 ED3 SN95
