AUNT
DAISY
DAISY NINA BARRETT, was born in 1894,
daughter of Harry Michael & Emily BARRETT. Her Father, Grandfather
and Uncles worked for the Isle of Wight Railway, so it seemed quite natural,
that when women were needed to take on the jobs during WW1, that were previously carried
out by men, Daisy joined the IW Central Railway for the duration of the
war.
Daisy married Auguste COTTON
in 1925. Unfortunately, it was only four years later that she died of
consumption.
The photograph above is dated 1916 and shows Daisy wearing
her railway uniform.
