Olive Maud Emmerton was the youngest child of James (Jim) Emmerton and Minnie Grace Emmerton (nee Goddard), born on the 8th of November 1917.

I've already talked about Minnie Grace, my great grandmother.

However, there is additional context particular to Olive's childhood that isn't covered in my posts about Minnie Grace.

Chief among them is the fact that Olive was the first person in her family to ever get a place at a grammar school. This was a big deal for both her and the family 2/?
