Born 1888 in Faringdon, BERKS, one of 8 children of George Tombs and Eliza WHIPPS, she was last heard of in BELVEDERE (KENT) in 1920. She placed her second child Helen Jean, in the care of a children's home in Croydon and talked about "going back into service" Her first child Leonard died 1 year old in 1909, Helen apparently went to Canada where second child Helen Jean was born in The Old General Hospital, Toronto, Ontario but must have returned to England for some reason and, as said earlier was in Kent when her daughter was 10 years of age.
