Notes From Elsewhere

Frances Clare Skurray was one of the first women to drive in the UK.

Thomas married Mabel. They lived at Walton House in Ock Street until 1906 when they moved into the house known as Summerfield in the Wootton Road, now sadly demolished, that the architect Harry Redfern had designed for them.
There were three children of the marriage: Clare, Deane, and Judy. Clare, whose married name was Spurgin, had a world-wide career as an expert in managing juvenile delinquents, and her work was recognised by the award of an OBE in England and equivalent honours in other countries.
