Allison Edwards grandmother. Aunt Ruby to my mother. Ruby's sister - Louisa Frederica Baker [my maternal great grand mother, know to me as "Pussycat Nana' and old Lawrence Terrace resident] died 1950 - is buried nearby. I saw her grave in 1976 [it has a modest and very small strip of concrete with her name]
