• Notes

  Aunty Rene never married. At the age of about 17 she became engaged to a young man who went to serve in the Great War and did not return. From an early age, Rene cared for and raised her niece PetFilewood. Pet inherited the Phemister family home from her UncleGeorge and she and Rene lived there until Rene's death. On Pet's death, the house passed to her husband, Ted McCloy and so passed out of the Phemister family.
