Thank you so much for the additional information about Edith Collier. I didn't know that about her brother Trevor either. I would guess Edith and Bert named their son Stanley after Edith's brother, who died young (aged 31) but not sure of the cause.

I wonder if any of Edith's children married and had children as if any of them is researching their family history I have seen these wonderful letters from her and from her brothers to their friend in the army and they sound such an interesting and lively family! There is also much mention of the sawmills (presumably how she met Bert) and other local goings-on in Walford.

Thanks again.
