Notes
[edit]- a Originally the 7th seeds were Vera Mathias and Norman Peach, but the latter apparently withdrew from the event.
- b Most likely. Often spelled Miss C. Finlayson, even in sources that mentioned her as Miss M. Finlayson in other articles.[8]
- c List of entrants pairs Mrs. Mathias with Ken Berriman.[9]
- d Probably (see: [a] and [c]). No source gives an information about such a draw, let alone the result.
