George Deer MP was my great uncle on my mother’s side. His wife was not Ivy but Olive Gertrude (nee Stoakes), born 1897. As a child in the 1960s I experienced her kindness and generosity and superb knitting skills - I still have old dolls (bairns) wearing knitted dresses she conjured out of nowhere in minutes.

Olive Gertrude Stoakes was my great grandma's sister whose family were in Grimsby. She was born & lived here before moving away with George then returning in later life to live in Hunsley Crescent.

Emma thank you. I think Ivy may have been his second wife. I have seen the entry for both of them at this house in the electoral registers

George and Olive Deer where my grandparents, I don't know where this person called Ivy comes into play and where you have got your information from...

Hi Caroline, my G Grandma was Olive Gertrude's sister (Harriet Ethel Stoakes) - she named her daughter after her (Cicely Gertrude Inch)my grandma. My mum & grandma often talked about Aunt Olly Deer, George, Eileen & Ken as they lived with her widowed mum during WW2 at 24 Daubney Street - I still live in Cleethorpes.

Ivy is inaccurate, I have documents related to Olive's time as chair of the LCC. Caroline Harding - if you'd like to PM me I can share them with you.
