I have found a web page of AYTON SCHOOL. The address is http://www.manannan.org.im/aosa/index.html Mayby Winifred was a pupil? Cotswold Gdns (Gardens?) is a street name existing in many towns (London, Doncaster, Gloucester, Ilford, etc.). For more details see: http://uk8.multimap.com/home.html The air-raids in London?? It is very difficult locate without a date! You can try at Public Record Office. Buona caccia!! Very fascinating researc!
