DITTMER – MARY ELIZABETH. October 12 1990. Beloved wife of the late William, dear mother of Fred (deceased) and Betty (N.Z.), mother-in-law of Joan, dear nana of Stephen (wife Ann), Anne, Tony and Anne and Andrea (N.Z.), Grandnana of Jon and Tim.

General Notes
Tony Beard's grandmother was Mary Newman from County Meath, Ireland. The family had the same piece of land for 400 odd years, Mary came to the UK in 1914.
My mother reemembers the parents of Fred and Betty as Will and May (most definately she says). This is confirmed by her grandson, Tony.
May was very loud and Irish, Catholic and rather fat.
She would always make you welcome, going into the back to boil eggs to make sandwiches and used a fine bone china tea service. She made very nice pastry pies.
May was very upset when her daughter Betty moved away. May thought she would never see her daughter again!

My mum first thought Fred was "Killed on a Liverpool tram", but this was Harold.
