Feb-04-20  Nosnibor: It maybe sheer coincidence but his first wife was killed accidently by a plane propeller in 1935 and the year after his death his second wife was killed by bombing from a plane.

  MissScarlett: Vera was killed by a V1 rocket. But what is meant by ‘maybe sheer coincidence’? Are you suggesting a conspiracy?
Feb-04-20  Nosnibor: Absolutely not! It is just an unfortunate coincidence do not read into it more than that.

  MissScarlett: Loose lips sink ships!
Feb-04-20  Cibator: Of course it was just a coincidence. As was the fact that Vera's main rival for the women's world championship, Sonja Graf, also married a man called Stevenson.

  MissScarlett: Stevenson's address in the February 1920 <BCM> is given as <45, Clapham Road, London, S.W.9.> That would be only a couple of hundred yards away from the address in Gauden Road which was flattened in 1944. I'm wondering if the Menchiks lived there, so that Vera could be near to her sister and mother. Following Rufus's death in 1943, did she move from Clapham Road to Gauden Road?

  MissScarlett: Another possibility is that Mr. and Mrs. Stevenson lived in Gauden Road, with or without her family.

It's sort of annoying that WW2 happened, causing the cancellation of the 1941 census.

Feb-24-23  DataFly: In the 1939 register Rufus Stevenson can be found at 47 Gauden Road - the same house where Vera, Olga and their mother, also Olga, were killed.

I've uploaded an image of the 1939 register here: https://pasteboard.co/SOCEu1ipevlm....
