Elm
House is where Kerrie Myers' ancestors lived.
The proprietor mentioned in these advertisements is Lilly
Alexander PEAKE nee GILBERT, youngest daughter
of George GILBERT and Blanche Stevens nee FRIGGENS. George
and Blanche had four daughters Blanch Friggens,
Mary Ellen, Catherine Job (Kerrie's great-grandmother) and
Lilly. It is believed that after his wife Blanche's death,
George GILBERT went to Leicestershire with three of his daughters and
left Lilly with her Grandmother Blanche FRIGGENS
(nee STEVENS) in Elm House. The family in Leicestershire
holidayed at Elm House every year. The advertisements are dated
1910 and 1918 respectively.
