Pauline’s grandmother Ellen had died in 1943. Other family members were in poor health. Ann Sanders, Pauline’s grandmother’s elder sister died in 1949. Her grandfather survived until 1956 but his health had become critical.

Elves Rest, Pauline’s property had been destroyed by the occupying forces. Attempts to rebuild were unsuccessful because of new Island legislation resulting in a lot of time and money wasted. Plans to settle in Jersey therefore never materialised.

Her last Jersey living relative, her aunt Edith Adele Taylor died at age 61 in 1968, thus ending our family’s living presence on the island.
