Kate Eliza Beale
The mystery of this picture was solved when we borrowed a photo
album from June Woodend on September 15, 2004. We were not sure whether
this was a picture of Granny or one of her sisters. We were able to
determine this was indeed a picture of Granny. It appears to have been
taken prior to Kate’s marriage to John Woodruff.
This is one of Granny’s sisters, Elvina May Beale.
Elvina married Harry Duncaff Lloyd, MBE in 1899. These pictures are
courtesy of Barb Peacock, a great niece of Harry and Elvina Duncaff
Lloyd. note: MBE stands for member of the British Empire.
Notice of the award appeared in the London Gazette, 7th of June 1918 to
Chief Gunner Harry Duncaff Lloyd RN.
