Thank you for visiting my blog and for your helpful comment. I had another look at the original photo and where I have it on my computer, zoomed in and double-checked the name of the building. It is really Hatherley Villa rather than Matherley as you suggested. The H is exactly the same as the TH in Hatherley. However, I will search for both Hatherley and Matherley Villa just in case there are transcription errors at any places I may find it.

Many thanks for your suggestion also, because it made me look more closely at the photo and I will have in mind to look more closely at other photos, just in case text could be mistaken. ;-)

Kind regards,

Christine (rootsresearcher)

If that’s true, it may help your search.

I rather regret not asking my dear grandmother more about her work as a Court dressmaker. I bet she would have had some interesting tales to tell. ;-)

I shall keep digging away and see if I can find out more about Miss Foote and her business and will blog about it here when I do!!

Kind regards,

Christine (rootsresearcher)

I hope you have successful search!
