INDEX

[2223] Note 1: Anecdote from Marc Humphries (email 2012): "A few years before my mother (Greta Cabassi) and father (Derek Humphries) met, my mother used to walk home from school each day through Embankment Gardens and chat with a blind man (Archibald "Jock" Humphries, Derek's Grandfather), who would be sitting on a bench whilst out for his afternoon walk, this of course turned out to be Jock, and I always loved this story".

Note 2: At the 1891 Census, Archibald Humphries was living with his uncle and aunt, Stephen and Sarah (nee Kaley) Symons, at 6 Lawes Cottages, Creeks Mouth, Barking, Essex, and recorded as their son. With Stephen and Sarah apparently otherwise childless and Archibald with 8 siblings at home in Fulham , this seems to be a hard-headed family solution to economic reality and also perhaps to the heartbreak of childlessness.
