Please can anyone inform me whereabouts Mrs C lived?
Curiously enough, the original blues shown by Miss Frances Simpson were the progeny of a blue paired with a tabby, but the remaining two of the litter were tabbies. One of these kittens was quickly bought at its catalogue price, Miss Frances Simpson buying in the other herself, from which have been bred many well-known blues. Mrs. W. R.

Thanks verymuch for those answers.
I wonder if Major Scott used to live in a bungalow in the grounds of New Lodge?
I seem to remember that my Windsor Doctor was a Doctor Scott who had his surgery in Sheet Street Windsor. I suspect that he may be related.
