Further comments

Memorandum, 20/4/1917, p.24: 'SHe has always been a hardworking and inoffensive woman, and not one word can be said against her in any shape or form.' Thought husband was naturalised.

Later form is signed (but spelled as Wagener, which then requires correction with many letters back and forth) but on earliest for it is just an X for a mark, not a signature. p.40
