[1] Nelly  was the nickname for Elizabeth LLOYD (1875-1911), a sister of John Henry LLOYD. She died in South Africa.

[2] Kathleen JACKSON (1872-1959),\, sister of Amy.

[3] Beatrice Minnie Shrieve JACKSON (1879-1972), sister of Amy.

[4] Sir Thomas JACKSON & Amelia Lydia DARE.

[5] Kathleen McCullagh JACKSON (1872-1959), sister of Amy.

[6] Beatrice Minnie Shrieve JACKSON (1879-1972), sister of Amy.

[7] Dorothy St. Felix JACKSON (1887-1964), sister of Amy.

[8] George Julius JACKSON (1883-1956), brother of Amy

[9] Walter David Russell JACKSON (1890-1956) brother of Amy

[10] “Pat” Claude Stewart JACKSON (1892-1917) brother of Amy, killed near Ypres, Belgium.

[16] Anna Marie ALLEN née DARE (1849-1931)

[17] George Mable KNOWLES – I don’t know who this may be. There was a George Herbert KNOWLES on the JULIUS side of the family, but that would be a stretch since he supposedly died in 188 – which could be incorrect. There are two children in one of the Gilford Castle photo albums named Agnes KNOWLES and Jackie KNOWLES. They were likely contemporaries of Amy, and hence it may be that George & Mabel KNOWLES are their parents. Also, a Commander George Herbert KNOWLES was honoured in 1918 as part of service in RN.

[18] Nicholsons: They are possibly J.C. NICHOLSON & Winnifred ALLEN, daughter of Whitworth ALLEN & Anna Maria DARE.

[22] Lillian Catherine SCOTT (abt 1875-?), daughter of William Ramsay SCOTT & Blanche Emily DARE.

[23] Hilda Florence SCOTT (abt 1879-?) daughter of William Ramsay SCOTT & Blanche Emily DARE.

[24] Mary Evelyn SCOTT (abt 1880-) daughter of William Ramsay SCOTT & Blanche Emily DARE.

[25] Eunice SCOTT – I do not know anything about her, although given the context, she is likely to be a daughter of William Ramsay SCOTT & Blanche Emily DARE.

[26] Blanche Sarah Waller SCOTT (abt 1866) daughter of William Ramsay SCOTT & Blanche Emily DARE.

[27] Edith DARE. Likely the daughter (b. 1884 in British Guiana) of John Julius DARE (1846-1896) and Caroline Mary TAYLOR (1857-1896).

[28] Carrie DARE. I don’t yet know where she fits in – likely a cousin & I could probably find out.

[29] Nina Sarah Louisa DARE (1842-1918) daughter of John Julius DARE (1805-1850) and Louisa Antoinette de St. Felix.

[30] Kate Maria Jane JACKSON née WHITING (1854-?) was the widow of Sir Thomas JACKSON’s older brother John.
