Tom Gerald RAWSON was b abt 1888 Leyton Essex, d Dec Qtr 1957 IOW, m Mar Qtr 1928 to Maud Irene BROWNE (b abt 1900). Tom had business interests in India and travelled there frequently, but from about 1929 he gives his address as Freshwater Bay, IOW.  According to the telephone directories from the time, he lived in houses known as The Homestead, Hill Cottage, and Afton Rise Bungalow.  I do not know when or where his wife died (IOW???). Emily Clark ANDERSON (b 1860 Lancashire) and her younger sister Jane Huntley ANDERSON (b 1865 Lancashire) lived on the IOW from about the late 1890s until their respective deaths in 1951 and 1942.  They initially lived for a short while at Brookfield Lodge near Ryde, then at Ivy Lodge, Freshwater. I imagine that they would both have been very involved in their community (i.e. church, etc) and it would be interesting to know if any records survive that might give an insight into their lives.  Also, would it be likely there was an obituary in the local newspaper?  Emily was 91 when she died and I'm sure she would have been known by many.  Would they have been buried on the IOW? Any help very much appreciated.
