This page is for stuff about the Winter family:
According to Dad:
Colonel Herbert E. Winter (1861 - late summer of
1946) was Ivy’s father. He outlived
Ivy's husband.
He lived in India and served in the Royal Army Medical
Corps.
His wife (Ivy's mother) died in 1915 in Alabad,
India. Colonel Winter then married a "coloured" woman named
Beta. They had two sons, one of whom (Rosshurst) commanded the Sixth Gerka
Rifles and later became the bursar at Radley School. Beta would not come
to England. Ivy apparently never forgave her father for remarrying.
And Peter's dug up some census
information:
"I've found Herbert living in Kent with his parents and sisters at the
time of the 1881 Census (3 April). Details as follows:
23 Vicarage Park, Plumstead, Kent - Samuel H Winter age 53, Military Tutor, born
Somerset, his wife Mary J T Winter also 53, born Devon, 3 daughters: Mary
J 24, Susanna E 23, Kate A 22, son Herbert E 19. Also living with the
family were 3 teenage boarders and a cook and housemaid. All 4 children
were born in Essex, where the family must have lived before moving to Kent. Do
you know what Herbert's middle name was? Herbert Edmund Winter married in
the December quarter of 1889 in Holborn, London."
