Hi Joan
I'm very new here, so am probably coming in at the end of your story, but I had an Auntie Lily (could be spelt Lillie) who married a Geoff (again, not sure of how he spelt it) Lace. They had a little cottage as I remember, out at the Lhen, very isolated. I don't know if this links with any of your Laces?
