Plot 919 Eva Caroline Brinkman (née King) (1876-1927)
Eva was born in 1876 in Northchurch to Nash and Caroline King. Her father was a carpenter.
She married gardener Leonard Harold Brinkman in St Peter’s on 3 June 1901. He gave his address as Charles Street.
The couple lived in Northchurch for a while – their daughters Queenie (1901) and Alexandra (1902) were both born there, but Violet (1903) and Annie (1906) were born at Forest Gate, Essex.
By the time of the birth of Ivy in 1910, Leonard and Eva were back in Berkhamsted, living at 255, High Street. He was a self-employed market gardener, owner of West End Nurseries. Their final daughter, Vera, was born in 1919.
Leonard appears to have specialised in flower growing, as Kelly’s Directory for 1914 and 1937 enters him as a florist.
By the time of the 1921 Census the family were still at 255, High Street. Leonard was “Nurseryman and employer” and Queenie and Violet were employed as sewing machinists at Crosby, Palmer and Stewart’s mantle manufactory in Lower King’s Road.
Eva died 27 April 1927.
Leonard married again in 1928. He is buried here with Eva and his second wife Adelaide.
