Husband was refused in 1914 and she in 1916. Memorandum, Foenander, 17/7/16, p.9: On parole with husband. According to local constable, ‘She is respectable and law-abiding. She associates constantly with Germans. He thinks that she is not a fit person… applicant is a person who would scarcely recognise any but Germans, He has found her untruthful’.
