Christine Elizabeth Blenkin......aged 11.

Pauline Mary Blenkin......aged 14.

Florence Little......aged 59.

Captain John Noel Blenkin's wife (Ivy Blenkin, née Little) died in 1941 and we believe that the children were being looked after by his sister in law, Florence.
Captain Blenkin went on to become a luminary of York society.
