Webster's Pocket Dictionary

We have this well used copy of Webster's pocket Dictionary that, from the inscription, once belonged to Eva Croxall.

The Croxall's were a prominently family in Witham in the early 1900's, as can be seen on this entry on Janet Gyford's website: https://www.janetgyford.com/people/croxall-family/

The address given by Eva in the inscription is the Gas Works, Witham. Eva's father, James Croxall, was a manager at the Gas Works, and the Electoral Roll for 1920 shows them to be living at this address.
