7 children - 5 living and 2 died

Is there any evidence to suggest that Mildred was the illegitimate daughter of Ethel sister of Wilton???? I suspect that is the case.....would explain the absemce of ethel on the 1911......and Mildred is listed as Mildred Brooke...........

Are you sure she was called Mildred, not Muriel?

Did Mildred have a second name? - her birth isnt obvious.

Possibly although the name is not unique
