Just a quick correction and additional info on Isabel "kittie"
Benjamin nee Davis.
She was actually born in Marylebone, London, UK, in the last quarter
of 1877, the daughter of James Davis and his wife Esther Josephine Da
Costa Andrade.
James Davis (aka Owen Hall) was a well known writer of musical
theatre and has his own Wikipedia page:
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Owen_Hall
if you look at the Talk page of his entry, asll the references for
her family are laid out.
If you have documentary evidence of Kitty's death then that can be
added to that page!
