* thank you to Grannab's comment below on 20 May 2016 . . Rita Cresendrew Bowring was named after her grandmother. The Cresendrew is in fact Cassandra. Seems people misheard the name a guessed at the spelling
* thank you to ThomasWonderful's comment below on 11 Feb 2023 . . Rita Bowring was registered at birth as Rita Cassandra Bowring. For some reason Rita absolutely hated that name and so it is believed that at some stage she had the name legally changed to Cressandrew. The fact is that both names were heard, Cassandra in the earlier years of her life and then in the later years of her life according to her preference, Cressandrew. Not many people know that she actually changed the name.
