From Tessa Kennedy, granddaughter of Allan Bickford-Smith, by email April 2006:
"Dear Alan
Thanks for your e-mail. I live in Hampshire and go to London two or three times a year. We grew up in Bexleyheath and friends of ours went to Merton Court School. I'm afraid I don't know anything about Yardley Court. I don't think Hilary Francis Skinner or Clifton Wyndham S had any children. Clifton Wyndham S had the family talent for modern languages and worked in Russia - perhaps he died there."
