NOTE: Kitty’s father, Morrice King Man, died in Tasmania when she was only one year old and so her mother brought her and her elder sister, Eliza Caroline (Carie) to England to stay with her Man in-laws at Halstead.  The registry certificate of Kitty’s marriage to John can be viewed here (<— PDF). Their only son John was killed during WWI.
