Minnie Katherine Bryant was born on 1 July 1887 at 26 Keston Road, Goose Green, Surrey. Her father was Henry Bryant who was a Life Assurance Clerk and her mother was Alice Rosa Cormack, also a clerk, and they were married in 1886 in Dulwich, SE London, where they continued to lived. She had a younger sister, Elsie who was born in 1889\. Minnie remembers being teased because her father was pro- Boer and a radical (about 1900)
|
||||
|
||||
After attending James Alleyn's Girls School (JAGS) in Dulwich Minnie went on to Bedford College, London and trained as a teacher. She then went back to JAGS to teach Botany. Botany was a new science for girls as Biology was not considered ladylike.
|
||||
|
||||
Minnie married Sydney Hunt on 26 April 1913 in Dulwich and they lived in Hillsboro Road, first at no1 with his parents then they bought no 21\. When the 1914-18 war broke out and the air raids started, Minnie took her baby, Geoffrey (born in 1914), to live on a farm near Faygate in Kent - for safety and better food.
|
||||
|
||||
Minnie and Sydney had two daughters as well as their son Geoffrey - Muriel b 1918 and Irene b 1921\. Both girls went to school at JAGS, as did Irene's daughter, Paula.
|
||||
|
||||
In 1938, just before the Second World War started, the Hunt family went to live in Loughborough but after her husband died in 1945, Minnie moved back to south London and bought a house with her sister Elsie, at 20 Cloisters Avenue, Bickley, near to where her son Geoffrey was living.
|
||||
|
||||
Minnie died at Cloisters Avenue on 11 July 1953, aged 66, from 'acute pulmonary odema /coronary occlusion /coronary atheroma' (Heart attack??)
|
||||
|
||||
As I was only 3 years old and living in Kenya when Minnie died so I never knew her as a grandmother but I know she made me toys and clothes and wrote a bedtime story for me (see contents). We only met once in 1951.
