My grandmother Beatrice Fagg was an accompished Pianists, though never took it up profecially. Beatrice told me when I had teen age Arthritius that all her brothers had Arthritius and did not live beyond age 50. One of her brothers was married to Popsy - possibly.
Beatrice, my grandmother, corresponded with school friend; Miss Edith Duff - left John Harold Lohmann a pocket watch, I believe her fiancey was a casualty of the first world war. Beatrice was from a musical family was inherited from her father's family. My father John inherited a considerable appreciation and understanding of music. She was highly qualified but did not pursue a concert pianist career. There is a photo of her wearing her cap and gown for her qualification as a pianist. Beatrice's mother died young at aged 50 of a stroke then fell down the stares. Her father disgraced himself by re-marring, as a result Beatrice never let him in the house when he came to visit grandson (John). Mum says her mother owned 8 houses. Beatrice saw the Zeppelins when they bombed Ramsgate and Margate which is as far as they could travel. The Zeppelins where silent and when shot down in flames came down silently so people could here the crew screaming as the balloon came down. The crew were not given parachutes. People left Ramsgate and Margate and there was auctions where Beatrice purchased a clock for she was with her mother and herd it striking and wanted to find it and buy it, which she did for £2/.... or 25s. At Ramsgate? there was a tram line along the sea front in 1901 a very large tram was built it ran along the sea front and tumbled off killing many.
Charlie worked in a power station a where a kitten was electrocuted it never grow up, but I got the impression that it live a long life.
Fred, my father John rembers when he was small his uncle Fred, took the cake, not the slice as a joke.
Reg - I don't know anything about Reg.
Roy married to Pauline his second wife, was maneger of SEEB warehouse in Tunbrige Wells, a Radio ham. Said to have been involved in secret work in WW2, I wondered if it was code breaking but he would not tell me.
Peter was an Army Captain. Surveyor lived in Broadstairs and worked on Canterbury Cathedral.
Brian was a Chemist (mother's name was Amy). Brian told me something about a relative who made optical instruments Possibly theodlites, or that could be Stanley.
