Geraldine Webber(Magniac) was the mother of Cynthia Urquhart (Webber), my father Neil Urquhart’s first wife and my godmother. She was the youngest of Charles Magniac’s children. She lived at Patrickswell, Co Limerick,Eire. Apparently, she was a great gardener.
Old Colonel Webber, her husband, left their daughter Cynthia Gatwick Manor (now a runway!) which she ran with my father as a club/hotel and a market garden after the war for a bit, since it was rather too large for them to afford to live in it.
Geraldine Webber was a great family historian. She wrote on everything. I have dozens of miniatures,photos, drawings etc., with her footnotes. On the same internet page as her photograph dressed as ‘Dawn’ appear several from an album of Colworth (her father Charles M’s place) with handwritten explanations added. I recognise her writing. I remember that albumn in my godmother’s drawing room at Chiddingly in Sussex. It seems to have turned up at an auction at Bellmans in Billingshurst in 2016.

Geraldine Webber née Magniac was my great aunt. Her brother Oswald was my grandfather. Cynthia, her daughter,was my brother's godmother and my namesake, and my mother's cousin. We had a close and fond relationship. I knew " Auntie G" in Patrickswell, and I was there when she died in 1953. I knew Neil Urguhart when he and Cynthia lived in Croom at Glenbevin where my mother and I were her house guests. I would be very interested in making contact with Andrew if he would be willing. I am thrilled to find this personal account of Auntie G, my great aunt. Cynthia Bailey Moran.
