Margery Taylor Gibb 1904 - 1983.
Daughter of Margaret and Lewis Taylor Gibb. She worked in a London Bank for a few years before moving to West Mersea to look after her widowed father, and she became actively involved in work for St. John Ambulance and the Mersea Island Community Centre, besides breeding and handling Corgi dogs for pedigree shows.

Margaret's niece says:
"She stayed on in the family home called Holm Croft in Grove Avenue for some years after Lewis died [1945]and then Douglas [Margaret's brother] designed and had a smaller house built for her across the road. The name 'Holm Croft' was transferred to the smaller house [and the original Holm Croft became Tall Trees. Some years later she moved to a bungalow in Yorick Road. In the 1950s the large house Holmcroft on the south side of Grove Avenue was sold and Margery moved to a bungalow called Holmcroft (and sometimes Holm Croft) on the other side of Grove Avenue.
