Birth 24 SEP 1869 • Vernon House Asylum, Briton Ferry, Glamorgan, Wales
Death 28 FEB 1952 • 33 Long St., Devizes, Wiltshire, England
Maud Cunnington - 12/9/1896 Age 27 - The fashion suggests the date is accurate.
Maud Cunnington née Pegge captioned as ca.1919 age 50 (I think it is about 1908 judging from the fashion which would mean she is about 39)
Maud Cunnington - an unprovenanced photo from the Wiltshire Museum DZSWS:2018.7040 - From the fashion 1910 -1915 age 40-45
Wiltshire Museum DZSWS:1983.8618 black and white photograph of B.H. Cunnington, Maud Cunnington and Heywood Sumner at Tisbury, 1924
