On 7 Feb 1919 the Western Times reported on the funeral of Mark Sanders of Kingsteignton. Listed among the mourners were his sisters, Mrs Hart, Mrs J Miller, Mrs A Nieas9 and Miss Sanders. I have identified Maria Hart, Sarah Ann Miller and the unmarried Hannah. It is the fourth sister that is foxing me. It is probably Mabel, although there is a remote possibility that it could be Mary.
Would someone be kind enough to check the original report and see if they can suggest an alternative for the surname. I have looked for clues on BMD and census records to no avail.

Many thanks, Pamela. Clearly I did not cast my net widely enough.
I am intrigued that Mary should be described as "deceased". In itself it must surely be most unusual to include such a person as a mourner. In this case it is more confusing as it would appear that Mary's death was registered in Bath during March Q 1920!
