The Bistre Parish Magazine February 1933 states under Burials:

Jan 6th Ellaline Marjorie Coles, Daisy Hill Aged 24 years

Under Obituary:

It is with sincere regret that we record the death of Miss Marjorie Coles, which took place with tragic suddeness on Tuesday Jan 2nd. Miss Coles had been at Ewloe School where she was a teacher. She had hoped to return to her duties after the Christmas holidays. Her sudden death cast a gloom over the whole parish. She was a faithful member of the Parish Church, and up to a short time ago had taught in the Sunday School. The funeral took place on Friday Jan 6th, and was choral. We deeply sympathise with the family in their hour of trial, and pray that God will grant them heavenly comfort and consolation in their great sorrow, and strength to bear the burden laid upon them.
