"The Three Servants - on the left is my grandmother Isabella May Knott (known as May)

born 1883, died 1977. She married Charles George Cookson in 1910. She was Kate's mother.

The pretty girl in the centre is Ethel Ann Rebecca Gardner, born 1885,daughter of

They all worked at Somerville House, a School for Young Ladies, run by Annie's sisters Charlotte
