The census form on which Mary's name appears was actually issued in her name. Mary is listed last of the 34 names listed, the first 32 of which were visitors of various ages, mostly yoing but not young children. A bit of research suggests that Homeland was The National Sunday Schools Holiday Home for Children, Vere Road. It appeared as such in the 1929 Isle of Thanet Kelly's Directory. 1939 Register: at 31 Beverley Road, Maldon and Coombe M.B., Surrey HOLBOURN, William C born 4 Nov 1865, married, commercial traveller, mineral water HOLBOURN, Emily A born 21 Jun 1863, married, domestic duties unpaid Minter, Mary J born 8 Jun 1859, single, domestic duties unpaid.
