EVELYN S. GODDARD-FENWICK - Musical memories?

If anyone has any handed down knowledge of the above lady who used to teach music at the City of London School for Girls in the 20/30's, I would be pleased to hear from them. Evelyn Goddard-Fenwick lived in Dafforne Road with her sister Emily and a Kathleen McDowell.I am asking on behalf of Evelyn's God-daughter who would love to know more about her Godmother.Thank you.

I do apologise for not replying to you.  I had hoped to be advised of any response.  Yes, much work has been done on this story and, although I did contact the school a few weeks ago, I have not had a response.  Maybe I should try again.  Unfortunately, I do not live in London so would be unable to make personal visits.  Many thanks for your contact.

A Goodle search of the lady's name suggests that you have already done a lot of work ...with this enquiry.Interesting that Evelyn GF composed some piano music.Have you explored the Old Girls'Association on the City of London School... there could still be some 90 years old members still around. I recently met a 94 year old "Old Boy" of the School and he goes to the Boys' Association Reunions.Does the School have an Archives Library? They are bound to have a Log Book of School happeningsand maybe even some pictures of the Staff in those times. How about the old School magazines..a great source of info!A visit to the City of London "Guildhall Library" might also have some information "and memories" for you.
