| Tiffany/Duncan comment: |
Tiffany 1910 calls this the McRee Memorial Window, so likely the Simpkins' daughter, Ethel Simpkins McRee, was the person who organised the window with the Tiffany company [TIFF1910, DUNC1980, DEDUCED] |

Tiffany 1910 spells the name as Berkeley, and this seems to be an alternative spelling of the family name [TIFF1910, DUNC1980, DEDUCED] |
