General Information:
Mary Hoey says - Edith Quince was the daughter of my grandmother's (Mrs F.G. Hamilton) cook at South Eaton Place in London. Edith came out to Kenya with my parents [Mr & Mrs C.H. Adams] as a sort of house help to my mother, mainly in order to look after my sister and myself while my mother carried out her official duties, since we could not be left alone in the house. They had a son called Victor
