Mrs Tennison lost her sister in law, Mary Ellen Harman and her 3 children. Mrs Tennison was in the WRAF and was home on leave that night. Apparently Mary Ellen (Nellie) and the children had started off for the shelter but changed their minds and had tried to go back home. The ARP said there wasn't enough time and pushed them into the shelter.
Nellie had been baking bread when the sirens went. When Mrs Tennison went around to the house after the bombing, it had risen perfectly. Mrs Tennison identified the bodies of the children at the Bath House Mortuary. They had mauve acid burns from the chemicals stored at Wilkinsons.
