Appendix 11 Notes from Mary Bole’s Research Included for completeness
are some notes from Mary Bole who obtained information from official
records and members of the Dibdin family. Reginald
Aglio Dibdin b. 07 Nov 1883,
18 Union Rd. Tuffnell Park, Islington m. 14 Feb 1912,
St. Mary's, Hamilton Terrace, Marylebone to Elsie Millicent Marvin d. Jul 1957,
Forest Hill, Lewisham ¾ Reginald ("Rex") was an analytical chemist and worked with
W.J.Dibdin until the latter’s death. A brilliantly clever man,
bordering on genius, but hopelessly impractical. He would never sit any
examination or obtain any form of certificate or diploma – and paid
for it dearly in later years when analytical chemists were both
plentiful and qualified. He married but the marriage was dissolved after
only a short time. He died supported by the National Assistance Board
and such relatives as could lay hands on a spare pound or two now and
again. [56] World War I – Army Service Corps, Staff Quarter Master Sargeant, Warrant Officer Class 2. [57]
