Aantekeningen

Alice Silverhorne de Janze de Trafford. She was born probably btw 1896 and 1906 in Chicago to William Silverhorne and Julia Bell Chapin, mother was an heir to the Armour ematpacking family. Alice left Chicago I believe as an adult and married Comte Frederic de Janze (French) to whom she had two daughters, Nolwen (last heard of in London) and Paola (last heard of in new York). There was an incident at a French railway station where she shot her lover, Raymond de Trafford and herself - both survived and she got off with a small fine. Alice then moved to Kenya (possibly via UK) where she divorced de Janze and married Raymond de Trafford. She was in Kenya in the late 1920's and early 1930's. Her daughters were brought up by both sets of grandparents.

De Janzé was the first husband of Alice Silverthorne, a quite wealthy heiress from Chicago, Ill., USA (mar. 1922, div. 1927), who was later to become Mrs. Raymond de Trafford (mar. 1932). During the 1920s and 1930s, Alice and her respective husbands lived in Kenya, and belonged to the notorious "Happy Valley" set - nowadays best remembered for the affair surrounding the (at least officially!) still unsolved murder of Lord Erroll in 1941.A reasonable account of the Erroll scandal is given in James Fox' 1982 book "White Mischief" (based on it, there was later also a movie with the same title), including some info about the persons involved. However, apparently de Janzé himself has also written down some memories of his times in Kenya - the book is titled "Vertical Island".
