Some name changing appears to have gone: Theresa refers to herself in her will as Theresa Breslauer known as Theresa Stanley of No 16 Westgate Terrace, Redcliffe Square, London.  Her son Reginald changed his name from Breslauer to Stanley, so she must have followed.  On the probate notice it states that, although she died at Lexham Gardens, she was 'formerly of 16 Westgate Terrace....'.

The addresses of her two sons as executors (her son) on her probate are given as follows: 1. Norman Breslauer 11 Rochester Row, Westminster and 2. Reginald Stanley 24 Southwark Street, Surrey.

Theresa's marriage took place very shortly after her father's death, only a matter of about 6 or 7 weeks.
