Julia - Is listed as becoming a nun and according to an entry in her Baptismal record she was " sent to India". I have tracked down her daughter and grand daughter. Apparently she was a tutor to the Maharaja's children when she met an officer of the RAF stationed there Percival Mason. They married in September 1936 and returned to England where their 2 daughters were born. Christina is one of those and her daughter, also Belinda,has been in touch with me.
Percy & Julia are buried in Milton Keynes . See photo at end of the page of their headstone.

Mary or May died in St Vincent's Hospital Dublin on 31st October 1911. She is buried in Kilmurray Cemetery. See the newspaper article below from the Western People below following her death. Also the record of her death.
