The gravestone of May Crommelin and her older sister who are listed on the following family chart. This description of the death of May's older sister is extracted from a biography of the author written about 1892: "What seemed apparently trifling accidents, through horses, led to bad results. First of all, Mr. Crommelin had a fall when out hunting, the effects of which prevented his following for ever after his favourite sports, and his health declined. Then a carriage accident was the beginning of his wife's later always increasing illness. Their eldest daughter had not been strong, when she too met with a mischance. Her horse ran away with her and she experienced a shock from which she never wholly recovered. The Irish land troubles had begun; no rents were to be expected for two years; servants and horses had to be reduced. So, like other neighbours, they resolved to be absentees for a while in a milder climate, rather than endure the loneliness of the country, far from town or doctors, and they removed to Devonshire for two years, during which time May's eldest sister died after a summer at Dartmoor."                   1  Nicholas DlC-Crommelin       1783 - ..  +Elizabeth Demolyns                      - 1820 ........        2      Samuel Arthur Hill DlC-Crommelin ............            +Anne Maria Thompson     ...................     3      Lucy Marguerite DlC-Crommelin    - 1882 ...................     3      Louis Nicholas DlC-Crommelin       ...................     3      Frederick Armand DlC-Crommelin       .......................         +Nina Jones  ...................     3      Maria Henrietta (May) DlC-Crommelin       1849 - 1930 ...................     3      Caroline Anne DlC-Crommelin       ...................     3      Florence Frances DlC-Crommelin       ...................     3      Evelyn Angelique DlC-Crommelin       ........        2      William Thomas DlC-Crommelin       ........        2      Elizabeth DlC-Crommelin       ............            +John Robert Irwin     ........        2      Nicholas DlC-Crommelin       1819 - ............            +Anne Mullholland      ...................     3      Thomas William DlC-Crommelin       ...................     3      Nicholas DlC-Crommelin       - 1938 ...................     3      Andrew Claude DlC-Crommelin    - 1939 ...................     3      Elizabeth DlC-Crommelin       .......................         +J.G.Holmes ...................     3      Constance DlC-Crommelin       1867 - 1960 .......................         +John Masefield    1878 - 1967   The gravestone says: In loving memory of Lucy Marguerite, daughter of S. de la Cherois Crommelin of Carrowdore Castle, C.
