Daisy Savage
1903-1922
Daisy was born in 1903 in Bentworth, near Alton, Hampshire to George and Margaret Savage. George and Margaret married in 1902 in Petersfield, Hampshire
In the 1911 census George was a police constable and the family are living in the Police Cottage, Lower Upham, Hampshire.
Daisy, recorded as aged 7, had a younger sister, Beryl, b.1904 and a younger brother, Victor, b.1910.
George’s police records are currently held at the Hampshire Constabulary Archives in Winchester and various mentions in the Newspaper Archives and in birth/baptism registers suggest he, and his family, moved regularly throughout the County with his job.
In 1921 the family were living in a Police House at Crux Easton, Hampshire.
In October 1922, whilst working as a probationer nurse at Newbury Hospital, Daisy died of an exophthalmic goitre – a type of hyperthyroidism. She is buried with her sister, Beryl, who died just fifteen months earlier.
The date of George’s death is not clear but his police records end in 1926 and there is a probate entry for a George Savage who died in Petersfield, Hampshire, in 1933.
In the 1939 census Margaret, his widow, is living in Christchurch with her son, Victor.
A probate record for Victor in Christchurch in 1990 (when he would have been 80) says “last seen alive 22 August 1990, dead body found 25th August 1990”
