Description
Alice Maud Gayford (1894-1939)
Alice was the daughter of Frederick Gayford, a carpenter. She was a domestic servant
The photograph was probably taken in about 1921 when Alice was working for William and Mercy Pitcher in London. William had been a schoolmaster in Reepham, living in the school house next to the school on School Road (also called Whitwell Road). William and Mercy had lived in Reepham for more than 20 years but in 1921, after retirement, they are registered in south west London where Alice was their servant. Alice died in Reepham in April 1939.
By the late 1920s the Pitchers were back in Reepham where Mercy died in 1928. In 1939 William was living on Norwich Road with his brother-in-law Archie Chaffey, also a retired teacher.
