About Edward Darragh Baring-Gould
Edward Darragh (Teddy) Baring-Gould, grandson of The Reverend Sabine Baring-Gould, died at his home in Santa Barbara, California, on November 28, 1994. Teddy was born in Wimbledon on June 13, 1906 and grew up at Lew Trenchard with his brother Sabine and his sister Adele. Teddy was educated at Rugby School and Trinity College, Cambridge where he was a member of the Cambridge University Air Squadron. In 1927 he was sent out to the colonies to fend for himself; he worked for several years for the Anglo-American Pulp and Paper Mills, doing accounting and auditing. In 1932 he moved to California where he managed his distant cousin Alex Baring's ranch in Santa Barbara. During World War II Teddy organized the British War Relief Society in Southern California with the help of his first wife, Shena (née Collins). In 1943 Teddy joined the RAF and flew supply planes across the Atlantic from Brazil until 1945. Always an adventurer at heart, Teddy made several trips down the little explored Barranca de Cobre in Mexico and drove the length of Baja California in his jeep before the days of roads there. He worked at his home in Santa Barbara as an investment consultant and director of E.W. Axe & Company and tended the ranch he loved, growing avocados and limes. He remained physically and mentally active until the last week of his life. He was a wonderful correspondent, keeping in close touch with his far flung family, members of the Baring-Gould diaspora. Teddy was predeceased by his daughter Marian and his son Michael. He is survived by his second wife, Barbara, his daughter Sarah Louise (Lally), ten grandchildren and four great grandchildren; also several nieces and nephews who also loved him and eagerly awaited his letters
