Maude Alice Miller, 1861-1958, was born in Liverpool, England, 10 May 1861, to William Charles Miller, a shipbroker, and Lucy Swainson, the fifth of their nine children. When she was twenty-three, she married Edmund Ernest Bentall, known to the family as Ernest, the son of Edward Hammond Bentall whose father started an agricultural machinery company that later became the E.H.
