In 1901 a Gertrude M Powys was living with Mary Hoar, a widow who was her aunt, at 14 Ashford Rd, Maidstone, Kent. Gertrude is down as a companion to Mrs Hoar and was aged 60 and born in Bloomsbury, London. Who was Mary Hoar??? Sounds like the sister (or sister-in-law as she was a widow?) of her mother Eleanor Hoar(e), and Mary's father Charles Hoare had himself lived at Maidstone.

(3) His two pages of trees of various descents from medieval royalty, including the Trotters back to the Scottish Stewarts.
(4) His trees of the recent Trotter marriages.
