   The Curtis-Bennetts

   Is anybody researching the Curtis-Bennet family - three generations of   
   prominent barristers in London from the late 19th century to the middle   
   of the 20th century?   
      
   I'm particularly interested in Lady Lilian Mary Curtis-Bennett (nee   
   Jeffries), the second wife and widow of Sir Henry Honywood Curtis-Bennett.   
      
   After she became a widow in 1936, she settled in Bourton-on-the-Water in   
   Gloucestershire, where she lived until she died in 1972. She is one of   
   several prominent residents of Bourton - none of them related to me -   
   who I'm currently researching. I know a fair bit about her, and knew her   
   personally - in my capacity as the youth who delivered her evening   
   newspaper. Nevertheless, I have a lot of unanswered questions, and would   
   be interested in comparing notes with anyone else who knows anything   
   about her.   
   --   
   Cheers,   
   Roger
