Mary Bonham-Christie

[5][6][not specific enough to verify] When her father Charles Whitburn died, his addresses at the time were Addington Park, Maidstone; 16 Ennismore Gardens, Middlesex (recorded as his place of death); and 17 Clements Lane, London.

[3][not specific enough to verify] Probate was granted to Charles William Sofer Whitburn, banker and to Mary Florence Christie.

Administration of her estate was granted in London on 21 January, again to Charles William Sofer Whitburn and Mary Florence Christie.

Robert and Kathleen went on to have a son, John, born 1918 in St George Hanover Square, who inherited his grandmother Mary's estate upon her death.

Local rumour at the time insinuated the fire may have stemmed from the acrimony caused by the eviction of islanders,[10]: 24:06–24:20  although Bonham-Christie blamed the Boy Scouts.

[citation needed] While unpopular, her minimal interference with the island's natural contents meant that it became a flourishing habitat for native red squirrels,[11] deer and Sandwich tern, avocet, and other wildlife.

[12] Mary Bonham-Christie died on 28 April 1961, aged 96 years, in a local (off-island) nursing home, where she had been moved that same day on doctor's orders, owing to her deteriorating health.
