Lilian Frances1881-1951
Her grandfather was born a Brown. He married a Miss Welbank, whose mother's maiden name was Trotter. Mr Brown changed his name to Trotter by Royal Licence. Their son was Canon H.E. Trotter, who married a Mary Hodson Gillett. Before she married she kept a diary. For some reason I have the 1876 edition of it. I do not think it will ever be published; it is singularly uninteresting. As Granny Trotter she is vivid in my memory, wearing the same spectacles as the sheep in Alice Through the Looking Glass.
Lilian, too, left a photograph album, from the same period as her husband's. Although it includes a visit to Brooklands in 1907, dogs feature a good deal more than cars. She bred and showed Elkhounds with great success. I also remember goats, including an enormous one which her kennel-maid rode on; and my personal impression was that she preferred any kind of animal to children. A goat of hers I tried to milk must have felt the same way. Visits to her were always full of novelty, whether it was working a searchlight or eating honeycomb or even operating her lavatory, the first I had met with a handle instead of a chain.
She, too, died of cancer, and is buried at Bournemouth. - MPL
______________________________________________
Her father, the canon, as a Trotter son, inherited the quartered Brown and Trotter arms given to William Trotter by Royal Licence in 1868. Her three brothers died unmarried, as did her sisters. So she was the only heraldic heiress of these arms, becoming so over 20 years after her death.
Had Reginald Cecil been able to know this, he could have borne these arms in an Escutcheon of Pretence (wow!).
Now we can merely add them to all the other P-L arms, placing them in the last three slots, after the Barrington inheritance, as she was the last heraldic heiress to be married. The impartible Trotter arms are to be followed by the Brown then the Trotter arms in separate quarterings; Brown is first as it is the male line. - TFPL
In the 1901 census she was living at The Rectory, Whitchurch, Oxfordshire with her parents, aged 14 and born in Ardington, Berks.
