Solicitors, Stephen, Jaques & Stephen, Solicitors & Notaries, 25 August 1915 – ask for her Baptismal Certificate, which was included with her application, after there was a date discrepancy (she told police she was born in 1852 and her application states 1852 but they also seem to think she was 53 originally, but she is actually 63 according to her Certificate) – difference in birth date means she ‘will now be re-considered’- APPROVED 20 August 1915
She is working as housekeeper for her brother, a butcher (p.12 Police Report)
