She married a Mr. Bate, and she had two sons:

  • Thomas Murrin Bate (3 August 1934 - 2 August 1989), who married Diane Mary Paulley and died one day before his 55th birthday.
  • Arthur John "Jack" Bate (2 August 1923 - 6 November 1944). Jack was a Flight Officer and bomb aimer with the 101st Squadron, Royal Canadian Air Force (RCAF), shot down over Germany 6 November 1944.

Jack was a fighter pilot and was shot down and killed in 1944 (age 21). I don't know how his body was recovered but he is buried in France.
