Items on this page were donated by the
family of Mrs. Yvonne Snell in her memory, and by her brother Gerald
Creagh Brown who was Gerry Peacock's Godson. The father of Gerald
Brown attended Heatherley's Art School in London with Ada and her
husband Gerry Peacock. They left London for Buenos Aires so that
Gerry could manage an advertising agency there. They only intended
to remain for a couple of years, but the political situation meant that
they would be unable to bring their money out, so they remained there
for the rest of their lives.
In addition to designing the menu covers for Moore-McCormack Lines, Ada
was the costume designer for Charles B. Cochran who produced big
musicals.
