Wow Jean - an actual mention of Laura! Thankyou so much - I knew I hadn't imagined her. Interesting that she IS called Starkey - I now have to find out why! And you're 100% correct - they were indeed referred to as the Misses Clegg!
Thankyou again - you have given me so much to be looking into - obviously Laura continued working for the remaining sister, because my Mum only remembers her working for Edith. At least if they were a bit 'grand', I should be able to trace them easily enough now.
