Hello BERM,  my grandmother was Charlotte Horne and met Kennedy O'Brien Martyn towards the end of the Great War.  My mother, Ruth Katherine Horne was born at a Mother and Baby home in Mere, Wiltshire in May 1919.  She was brought up by her mother and aunt who were both working in service for a very kind and sympathetic employer in South Kensington.  My mother remembered her father, whom she referred to as Uncle Kob, as he regularly visited her until she was about 6 or 7.
