Ernest insisted that his remaining daughters and his wife travel to England as it would no longer be safe for them in India. His other children (there were many!) had all already either gone to war or moved back towards England or died. In 1949 my ggrandma (Evelyn), grandma (Colleen), and her younger sister (Yvette) traveled from Bombay to Liverpool on the Jal Jawahara and went to stay with another of my grandma's sisters. My ggrandad was then taken ill. He was still in India and said he wouldn't have the operation he needed without seeing my ggrandma (Evelyn) again. She travelled back to India and my grandma claims the stress of it all caused Evelyn to have a stroke and it sounds as though she never fully recovered. Evelyn was due to be travelling back to England to meet my grandmas first son when she died. My ggrandad died just 6 months after and my grandma always says i! t was from a broken heart!
