Gertrude Stewart

She is listed as holding the role of Secretary in the Central National Society for Women’s Suffrage in 1893.

[1] She is also recorded as attending the AGM of the National Society for Women’s Suffrage on 2 July 1896 at Westminster Town Hall.

[3] Eagle House was part of an estate where Suffragettes came to rest and recover following time in prison.

Nora Helen Gertrude Stewart was the daughter of a Field-Marshall and had previously divorced her first husband in 1894, an uncommon occurrence at that time.

However, she was known by the name of Nora Jenner making it unlikely that she would have been recorded as Gertrude Stewart while at Eagle’s House.
