Thank you so much for your help, Catherine and everyone. Some very useful info here.

I have her on the ER for Westminster 1924-1929

Just a minuet, this would match with Incoming Passenger Lists above:-

UK, Outward Passenger Lists, 1890-1960 about Grace Strangeways
Name: Grace Strangeways
Gender: Female
Age: 38
Birth Date: abt 1887
Departure Date: 25 Jul 1925

Destination Port: New York, USA
Ship Name: Berengaria
Search Ship Database: Search the 'Berengaria' in the 'Passenger Ships and Images' database
Shipping Line: Cunard Line
Address: 53 Moreton Street

This could be Grace coming back from USA:-

So this does confirm that it is her as address is her address in the Electoral Registers and it also prooves that the other passenger list is also her as she has the same occupation.

If they had all that money, she could afford to travel!

In 1933 Grace was living in Moreton Street, but she may have moved?

Address is the same as brother Leonard so they look to have either lived together or Leonard moved into her house after her death????

Grace is on the ER for Fulham in 1934.

As far as I have found, only 1 of the girls, Alice, married.
