VSMBC (maiden name Gyde) was born in 1900. She sometimes went by the first name of Sybil instead of Valentine. She married Leslie Chalk in 1920 and divorced him in 1927.
She then married Frederick John Chambers in 1936. I have no info on him at all, but at some time they - or she- bought a house in Jersey on Old Mont Cochon. She dies around 1984 - appreciate any info anyone can find - especially would love to track down her will or any press covering her. Thanks.
