Notes: 

Additional informatiuon received form Rowan Gibbs:

Tui Marie Randle was born in New Zealand in 1891 (Registration Number 1891/11627 on the www.bdmhistoricalrecords.dia.govt.nz). Her father was a schoolteacher at Inch Valley at the time.

Her mother, Marie Randle (nee Dawkins), was quite a wellknown poet.

She presumably did not marry but clearly had someone to arrange the gravestone. After her father's death in 1899 she returned to UK from NZ with her mother and they lived with her mother's family in Pembrokeshire.

The obituary of Tui Randle's brother, Dr Alan Randle, states that after he retired in 1946, "he soon moved to Ireland, where he enjoyed seeing his grandchildren ...". He had a son who was a doctor and a daughter who was a physiotherapist. He died in Cork 26 March 1970, age 86.

Presumably Tui was living with or near him and his children.
