443 Gertrude Garnett's (1888 - 1974) Recipe Book - Document G280

Gertrude Garnett trained as a confectioner and this was her recipe book which appears to have started when she trained and was added to throughout her life. Most of the early recipes make very large quantities, and have no procedure.

The recipe book also includes recipes for medicinal remedies and other things such as furniture polish.

Pedigree of 'Hall' on Spring Roller - Document H76

In 1907, Douglas Hall had his father's, Bernard Hall (1813-1890) , family traced back professionally through nine generations to Richard Hall of Castern-in-Ilam (d: 1506).
