She now lives in London - but the rest of her family, including her mother Philippa, all live near Victoria, Canada.
Upon returning to the UK, he became a RAF Flight Lieutenant and later served in northern Germany during World War Two, flying a fighter bomber called the Hawker Typhoon. Philip's parents were Corenlius Hermann Tattersall, known as Dick and Ethel Bessie Tattersall, nee Carden. Corenlius "left behind a catalogue of sporting achievements" according to a newspaper article when he died, which added: " that few of the locals would ever imagine could be credited to the old gentleman."
Phenomenally, the article states that Phillip recalled that he once had lunch with Adolph Hitler during his pre-war travels in Germany. it also states that it was in 1933 that he came to live in Hest Bank, which was built in 1907 on three acres of grounds. He decided to live there due to its close proximity to Wenning Silk Mills in Bentham, part of the family business that he managed.

Ethnic disparities in COVID-19 outcomes: a multinational cohort study of 20 million individuals from England and Canada - BMC Public HealthBackground Heterogeneous studies have demonstrated ethnic inequalities in the risk of SARS-CoV-2 infection and adverse COVID-19 outcomes. This study evaluates the association between ethnicity and COVID-19 outcomes in two large population-based cohorts from England and Canada and investigates potential explanatory factors for ethnic patterning of severe outcomes. Methods We identified adults aged 18 to 99 years in the QResearch primary care (England) and Ontario (Canada) healthcare administrative population-based datasets (start of follow-up: 24th and 25th Jan 2020 in England and Canada, respectively; end of follow-up: 31st Oct and 30th Sept 2020, respectively). We harmonised the definitions and the design of two cohorts to investigate associations between ethnicity and COVID-19-related death, hospitalisation, and intensive care (ICU) admission, adjusted for confounders, and combined the estimates obtained from survival analyses. We calculated the ‘percentage of excess risk mediated’ by these risk factors in the QResearch cohort. Results There were 9.83 million adults in the QResearch cohort (11,597 deaths; 21,917 hospitalisations; 2932 ICU admissions) and 10.27 million adults in the Ontario cohort (951 deaths; 5132 hospitalisations; 1191 ICU admissions). Compared to the general population, pooled random-effects estimates showed that South Asian ethnicity was associated with an increased risk of COVID-19 death (hazard ratio: 1.63, 95% CI: 1.09-2.44), hospitalisation (1.53; 1.32-1.76), and ICU admission (1.67; 1.23-2.28). Associations with ethnic groups were consistent across levels of deprivation. In QResearch, sociodemographic, lifestyle, and clinical factors accounted for 42.9% (South Asian) and 39.4% (Black) of the excess risk of COVID-19 death. Conclusion International population-level analyses demonstrate clear ethnic inequalities in COVID-19 risks. Policymakers should be cognisant of the increased risks in some ethnic populations and design equitable health po
