As the Calkin line ends with Beatrice down this route, I won't expand this line further, except to say:
Beatrice and Sidney had two Children :

Hilda Beatrice Strudwick (b.1921) ..... affectionately known as "Paddy".

Doreen Strudwick (b.1925).


A note from your author:
My Great-aunt Beat who married Sidney above lived at 64 Aspinall Road, Brockley and I certainly visited there on a few occasions when quite a few family members got together, including another Great-aunt Ethel.
My father (Rex Calkin) actually lived in 64 Aspinall Road for a time, he remembers:

"My dad and I went from Wembley to 64 Aspinall Road in time for me to attend S.E.London Technical college, this must have been about 1947-ish. I lived there for about 6 years. Whilst living with Auntie Beat, I think one of the daughters married a chap from the met. I also remember seeing there my Auntie Dot (Dorothy Calkin) who's husband Uncle Tom was a driver for a fizzy drinks company. She had at least one son called Dennis who I think became chief engineer of the electricity board in the Ilford area."

Also below, is another lovely photograph from the Margate holiday as seen above.
This one is a good example of the closeness of families in those days as it features many from the families of the sisters, Ethel Maud Rosina and of Beatrice Hilda Calkin
