LORD TREDEGAR'S DAUGHTER : MYSTERY OF HER DEATH
INQUEST AT ROTHERHITHE

The mystery surrounding the death of the Hon. Gwyneth Erica Morgan,only daughter of Lord Tredegar, who disappeared from her place of residence at Wimbledon on December 11 last, and whose body was recovered from the Thames on Monday at Rotherhithe, was investigated at an inquest at Rotherhithe yesterday. The Coroner sat without a jury. No member of the family was present, but they were represented by Mr J. E. W.Rider, solicitor to Lord Tredegar. The first witness, Captain Magniac, an estate agent, of Bryanston Square, said he identified the body as that of Gwyneth Erica Morgan, the daughter of Lord Tredegar.

A witness, Margaret Parratt, who knew Gwyneth well, added that she was 29 years of age, a spinster, and of no occupation. She had been staying at The Niche, Lancaster Avenue, Wimbledon, a furnished house taken for her,and had as a companion Miss Gladys Keeling. She had previously resided at Gerrard's Cross, but the place did not suit her health. She had been a sufferer from enteric typhoid, and dysentery, which she had contracted when in Italy between August and September 1923. When she last saw her alive on ' December 9, two days before she disappeared, she was quite well within herself.
