Edith never married and was, I believe, a schoolteacher. She lived in Cambridge. In the photo, she is in the front row, far left. I remember that she visited us once for a few days when I was quite young - presumably soon after my grandfather's funeral. But, other than that, I know virtually nothing about her life at present.
