Katty

237 of these "Letters to keep" are from Violet's elder sister Katty (Kathleen, b. 1884); that is one every three or four days.

Katty lived on the Isle of Man, where her husband Berkie (b. 1877) had worked for the IoM Government; they had a daughter Fenella (b. 1919), who married Norman in 1943, and they had a daughter Caroline.  Berkie had retired in about 1938, but was brought back into office during the War. 

Later, they retired to Sussex.

Kathleen was known as Katty, but her nephew Gervas as a small boy had called her "Ardie" - his rendition of "Auntie" - so she was still often called or referred to by that name.

The letters in the attache case run from 1941 to 1956.  These are "Letters to keep".  There MUST have been far more, both earlier and later, but they have not surfaced.
