As was also the case with Mary's Aunt Caroline Ellen Barnett, the 'Ellen' middle name is very likely to have been borrowed from Ellen Barney (nee Flynn), the wife of Edwin Frederick Barney, and Mary's great grandmother. Mary may well have met her when she was a little girl.

She was baptised at Christ Church, South Hackney on April 3, 1904.
