The Cossart family, who were living at 22 Broadwood Road in 1923, were near neighbours of my grandfather Charles E. Warren and were among the mourners at his funeral on 9 June 1923. The inscription on Louis Cossart's own gravestone solves the mystery of who the senders of the wreath from "Phyllis and Betty" were, as recorded without surname in CEW's obituary. They were his daughters.  Louis' wife was Sophia, known as "Siss". Cossart worked for Asiatic Petroleum Ltd. and his gravestone in the Colonial Cemetery was erected by his colleagues according to the inscription. I don't think 22 Broadwood Road was built by my grandfather. There was some correspondence about this in 2011. The Pio-Ulski family lived there in the 1960s and Nona Pio-Ulski has uploaded several pictures of the house and garden.
