NicknameShe; Gina
BirthShe was born on 1 March 1953 in Soham, Cambridgeshire, England, Gina's father was George Horsman Slee. He was also the father of her brother Bill (William). Nobody knows the full story here - but suffice it to say that although he may have had other qualities, he left Joan to bring up three children, two of them were his.

I have no detailed information - Joan Ferraby took her side of the story to the grave. I did ask her what happened, but she would not say. I would say though, that she retained some affection for George.

Nevertheles, no matter how you cut it, to have 2 children in Cambridgeshire while still married to another woman in Lancashire with whom you have also had children, and leave that second partner all alone with 2 kids, sounds like a pretty rotten thing to do. That's all I will say.

As we now know, George went on to start a third family elsewhere in Yorkshire.
NamechangeGeorgina Elizabeth's name was changed from Georgina Elizabeth Slee to Georgina Elizabeth Ferraby ... she may have been named Georgina after her father. I understand that the name change was effected so that all the children had the same surname, Ferraby.

I believe that Joan Ferraby never actually married George Slee, as he was already married and not divorced until circa 1972 from Mary Hawken, and Joan may still have been married to Robert Douglas Ferraby when Bill and Gina were born.

I think though that Joan Ferraby was known as, and called herself Joan Slee - as that's what the Deed Poll says ... "known as Joan Slee". It does not say that this was a registered married name.

If Mary Hawken did not agree to divorce George Slee until the '70s, it is hard to see how Joan could be married to him - I guess she could have had her name changed legally, perhaps by a prior Deed Poll, to Slee so as to appear to be married to him.

After all this time, let it all fall where it may, as it does not matter any more, as we can see the relationships and there are no doubts about them and the main parties to these affairs are dead and gone. I have corresponded with Professor Peter Slee and we are in agreement.

However, the Hawken, Slee, Ferraby and Snelson children might like to know about their half brothers, sisters, aunts, uncles and cousins.

Obituary

Obituary from Macquarie Park, Chatswood, on 19 November 2012:
A plaque was fixed to the burial spot in Macquarie Park, in the Olive Grove, #40 Row 5.

The words were carefully chosen by John, James and Bonnie to try and describe her in the few words that would fit on the plaque. Accordingly the inscription is about her - and not a word about us - as it should be.
Her mother Joan Lockwood died on 18 June 2013 in Lily House, Ely, Cambs.
