Grace Marcon

Her mother was named Sarah[1] and her father was Canon Walter Marcon[2] and he was the rector of the parish of Edgefield in Norfolk from 1876.

Her arrest arose from a disagreement between the police and protesting suffragettes led by Sylvia Pankhurst.

Marcon was photographed secretly whilst in Holloway prison together with other arrested suffragettes.

[4] She was imprisoned and released again when she was said to have cut off her hair whilst recovering from this hunger strike.

[5] During the war Marcon worked as Red Cross masseuse and this appears to be how she first met Victor Scholey.
