Her father worked as a sailmaker before he passed away when Kate was ten,[2] and her mother found work as a beer retailer.[3] Her siblings started working while still living with the family – James as a carpenter and Elizabeth, Rose and Jessie as seamstresses – and Kate moved on to live with James and Elizabeth[4] until her marriage to Charles William Vernon in 1914.[5]
The couple had one son, named Stanley[6] before Charles was killed as one of the Nine Brave Men of the 82nd Field Company of the Royal Engineers during the Battle of the Somme.[7]
