The Hobbs Sisters

James and Elizabeth Hobbs (nee Thomas) also had three daughters but unlike the sons the details are scarce

• MAUD - born 1882 London although the information relating to this birth are sketchy to say the least
• LILY MAY - born 31st May 1883 Paddington London. Lily's birth was registered in the September quarter of 1883 in the Kensington district of London GRO ref Volume 1a Page5. Lily married a William John Langler on 28th August 1910 in Paddington London (GRO ref Paddington September 1910 Vol 1a Page 31) Died  Hartford Ct - 9th March 1972 age 88.
• WINIFRED GRACE - birth registered in the June quarter of 1903 GRO Ref Paddington Volume 1a Page 41. Died in the June quarter of 1908 Pontypridd Volume 11a Page 316. WINIFRED was age 4 when she died.

And so the only sister that lived to adulthood was LILY MAY HOBBS .

Fortunately the above photograph is inscribed on the back "my birthday 31st May 1931". The lady on the left is Lily May on her 48th birthday whilst the person sitting down with the flowers is her mother and my great grandmother Elizabeth Margaret Hobbs. To date I do not know who the other three people are in the photo are or where the photograph was taken.
