Individual Details

Elizabeth Josephine Mary HUSSEY

(1 Mar 1871 - 7 Jul 1941)

Elizabeth's baptismal sponsors were William [surname illegible] and J. Chorley.

Elizabeth never married. She lived for several years with her sisters Agnes and Kate in the Hussey family home at 23 St. Mary Abbots Terrace in Kensington, and moved with her sisters to 18A Marloes Road, Kensington between 1933 and 1935 (according to electoral registers). It is known that Elizabeth was still living at the Marloes Road address at the time of the 1939 Register (September of that year) in which she is described as the managing director of John Hussey Ltd., the funeral business of her late brother Jack.

Elizabeth died of cerebral thrombosis in Leicester in 1941 aged 70. It is likely she was visiting her niece Marjorie Ralfs who was living in Leicester, and/or her sister Kate who also appears to have been living in Leicester at the time. Elizabeth's address on her death cetificate is 18A Marloes Road, suggesting she herself had not moved to Leicester. The Index to Wills for 1942 tells us that probate was granted in Llandudno, Wales on 15 June 1942 to Kate. Effects were £3,361 16s 6d, with a further grant [amount unknown] made on 12 November 1946 [although Kate had died by then].
