Thanks John,
For me the Blitz is one of understated horrors of the 20th century.
From what you said, at least the entire family were not effected.

Hi Sean,
This was most unfortunate. The family, together with other locals, went
to a
bomb shelter in Romford Road. It received a direct hit. One sad
suggestion I
received from a member of the family, with whom I am in touch, was that
the
water main was ruptured and those not killed by the blast were drowned.
Edith died before the tragedy on 6th February 1936. I located her grave
for
her granddaughter who has since visited it.
The family is in the line of Thomas Chant 1814 Stoughton, Sussex.
Cheers,
John
