THE NEXT GENERATION

OLIVE

A rather serious girl, Olive met and married Maurice Spencer at the relatively young age of 18. They also had just one daughter Mildred, who I believe was around the same age as her cousin Mary. A very pretty girl, Mildred was bright and outgoing, yet married a very quiet, studious young man, Fred Townend, a bright young scientist. Sadly, Fred died when in his prime, tragically drowning in the canal at Mirfield. All the family were distraught as he was a lovely young man, liked by all. He left a daughter, Barbara, who would have been about 10 years old at the time. Years later, Mildred met and married a lovely man called George O'Malley - a widower, and 'inherited' two step-children, Kathleen and Michael. Living first of all in the Isle of Man, they later moved to County Cork, Ireland.
