I logged on to your sight to research more on Winnifred Coombe-Tennant, only to find to my astonishment that the woman who lived only 5 miles from my house, in Neath, South West Wales, U K. Has suddenly become Australian. Winnifred Coombe -Tennant had a psuedonym, Mrs Willett a phsychic, which was not revealed until her death, so she may be in touch about your error.Winnifred was also known as 'Mam o Nedd' which is Welsh for'Mother of Neath, which is the town she lived most of her life in.
