Notes

Kitty took a domestic science teachers course at Berridge House, Hampstead, and then went to her first job at a school in Norwich, before being sent for to return home at the start of the war in 1939 when her father was worried about her mother's health. However, she was able to take a teaching job from home at the junior department of Henrietta Barnett School.

When her parents moved to Sussex she joined the land army and moved up to Scotland to be nearer Davy Girvan to whom she had become engaged in 1938. They were married at Tidebrook, Sussex, in 1941 and went to begin their life together on Davy's farm at Corrimony, Glenurquhart, Invernesshire, where their seven children were eventually born.
