Hilda Maude Makepeace, Bournemouth, UK
Hello, I am the grandaughter of Hilda Maude Makepeace who lived in Bournemouth, Hampshire (now Dorset), in England. Her father was the Reverend Thomas Makepeace who died from blood poisoning generated by the dye in his sock which rubbed a blister on his foot! (Embarassing!) Many of my Grandmother's ancesters were missionaries to India and elsewhere. One of her sisters, Gwen, played in an all-women orchestra called Ladies of Spain! I have a photo of her and her lover in Bombay, India - the orchestra toured Europe and the Far East. I came to the USA in 1976 and as far as I know am the only Sturgess from my family to do so.
