In the 1911 census as Elsie M Luff aged 13, and living with A William and Marie L (parents?), Arthur O (brother?), Helene M and Sybil M (sisters?) in Kingsclere, Hampshire.

Heather Galerpt has an entry in Ancestry Public Member Trees for Elsie Mary Liff (sic) born in Newbury, Berkshire in about 1998, parents Arthur Liff and Mary Louisa Alder. Joy Purkis has a similar entry giving her father's name as Arthur William Liff (sic).

David Hornblow has an entry for Elsie May Lufff born in 1898 in Newbury, Berkshire, daughter of Arthur William Luff and Mary Louisa Alder.

Information from Heather Croucher states her descendents are living in the Plymouth area. However I cannot identify a marriage or death.

Old Burghclere is 10 miles NE of Andover and and also very close to Watership Down.
