In the early 1990s I came across Sandra Scotting/Brind. At the time she worked in the Times circulation department. She was the daughter of the
Ted and Ivy in this cutting. Her mother died shortly after it was
published. I wonder if she talked to Libby Purves. We corresponded for a while but I couldn't help her much, I rarely did in those days. I wonder if her mother knew she was dying and that prompted her to (a) start the family research and (b) talk about
the Bethnal Green disaster. It looks like Ivy fell out badly with her
sister in law since the child she was looking after died in the
accident. Jonathan Brind |
