Later life and death
In the later life, after World War One, Ruth Durlacher and her husband, Neville used the free time they had after their careers to travel abroad[1]. Both Ruth's and Neville's names seem to appear on the passenger lists for a number of cruise ships, most of which were departing from the port city of Southampton in the south of England as it is the closest to Buckinghamshire. Some of the places that the Durlachers visited to during the 1920s and 1930s were Spain, Italy and South Africa[2]. Their last journey overseas took them to the west coast of the United States, including the states of California and Hawaii. This occurred around January 1934, when they were passengers on the Arandora Star cruise ship. Neville Durlacher died one year later, on 23 January 1935, in Stoke Green, Buckinghamshire. He was 64.[3]
Ruth Durlacher died on 21 September 1946 at Pinegrove, Stoke Park, Buckinghamshire[4], two months after her seventieth birthday. She was survived by her three children, Nora, Pat and Jack.[5]
